Actually, it would be kind of cool to have a module that just circulates the eggs &
balls, but only passes the balls forward. No one else has to deal with them, as
long as you don't let them out. Sort of like this module (from Brian Davis):

The machine would have to identify 100% of the eggs, but it could mis-identify
soccer balls as eggs, and recycle them.
