Good strategy?

actaully I think you have nailed the 'ideal' ball gathering concept - get them while they are most concentrated in time and location - that is, all at once

I noticed you mentioned a net - that is an implemtation detail - there are many ways to catch them as they fall.

as for the release ball - your side will have 6 starter balls behind the wall at the start of the game - even if the release ball is not moved, the 18 balls on your side will fall 30 seconds after auton ends

that gives your side 5 seconds / ball to shoot the starter balls, then the 18 drop and you have 75 seconds left - still 4 seconds per ball if you can deliver them quickly to the corral

so even in your worst case, you end up with control of 24 balls with a potential score of 120 points - just for your bot alone - not bad at all! in fact, that is the MOST points that one robot can 'score' if it can only do one thing!

PS: you spelled Strateejury wrong :c)
