it is possible to have two balls jam. the teams will just have to design a way around that. stored single file, yes, or a take a field trip to some factories. i did some temp work on an assembly line one summer and was amazed by all the machines used to move things around. a few that come to mind as aplicable would be a pinwheel on the bottom of the hopper to break up jams if they were to occur or a slowly contracting space (like a funnel but with steeper sides).
