this i disagree with, unless the balls can be marked somehow, another bot
has the possibility to pick up the one that was placed in the proper place,
now, if you were to mark a corral and have the balls placed in that it would
stop that problem. other wise the collection of balls would never (without
luck) grow to its fullest capacity.
