Is there even a benefit to having an extremely large hopper? How long can you reasonably expect to sit in the key shooting before somebody on the opposing alliance decides their time is more valuable playing defense on you? 5 seconds? 10 seconds? 20 seconds? If you have an extremely large hopper it'll take you a longer amount of time to empty it.
That all depends on how fast you can shoot balls. A dual shooter that can hit 5 balls/sec from each shooter can empty a 100 ball hopper in 10 seconds. I would hope that any team that is aiming for an extremely large hopper has put thought into scoring speed as well in order to avoid the issue of defense as much as possible.
