Keep in mind there is a small ramp in front of the corner goals, so your gonna have to put a little bit of velocity into those balls, cant just nudge em in like some other years.posted by Lil' Lavery

I said in another forum but if you put any real force onto those balls before they are inside the goal then they will most likely hint the top edge of the goal and rebound. So a nudge would work much better.

OR...you could have a "draw bridge" that lowers to about ...say.... 5" about above ground level and have a hopper with a slanted bottom. the balls in the hopper would roll right in after clearing a 1" high incline. ...or something like that...
