I had this same question. It seems unlikely that balls will be so on top of each other there won't be any space for the sensor to detect. But the unlikely always happens at some point. Seems like to resolve that, they'd put the sensor slightly off center of the ball to detect near the edge of the ball so there will always be a space between 2 on top of each other.

However, balls won't really get "jammed" going into the hole because the hole is only as big as the ball and there shouldn't be any issues with the balls getting to the hole.

Re: Goal Scoring

I merged this thread with another one discussing the same topic. The posts from that thread have been inserted in chronological order, so things hopefully still make sense somewhat.

Happy Discussing!
