Team 639 driver tryouts required drivers to herd 6 balls (along with other tasks) out of the 12 that were on the field... I was the fastest, collecting them in under 40 seconds. That was the first time I tried herding and it was hard. It definitely got hectic trying to get them in when there weren't many left. I disagree with one of your points though - I found that the balls that were adjacent to the side were the easiest to herd. Those got in first because the edge was a great guide for balls. Freely roaming balls were hard. Nonetheless, 6 balls in < 40 seconds should be done fairly easily in games.

I'll be watching tomorrow to see if there are improvements. Good luck to everyone.
