We had a jamming hopper in 2006, which is one reason why we have a helix this year...a single ball path helps to prevent jamming.

If your robot design allows it, see if you can make a narrow path that the balls follow. I didn't get any pictures of your robot after you added the metal sheeting on it, but the one with the netting makes it look like the ball path is not much wider than one ball, but it doesn't really have anything at the top to keep the balls all in one line, they can bunch up next to each other.
