Will ANYONE mess with the black balls?

Just a question. Perhaps much too early to ask, but is anyone as of now intent on dedicating mechanisms/motors to pick up/score the black balls?? Granted the black balls will be easy points when pushed up against the player stations, and everyone should probably have some feature that can dislodge balls from under the ramp as 40 possible black balls on the field + not many of them being paid attention to = a whole sea of balls just hoping to jam up the ramp. I’m not exactly sure how many people would want to make a dedicated scoring system to score the black balls, thus my asking the forum. I personally view them as simply an annoyance, another obstacle to manuever around. As of now, i would hope to leave the far row of black balls in perfect starting order at the end of the round. :slight_smile: Just my thoughts. Anyone have any others?
