We're using one that has adjustable angle... I hope it's strong enough... (And I designed it...)

Are you hurdling as well or going for a simpler design? We're planning on using our arm to pop balls at the end.

By pop do you mean literally making a hole in the ball so it deflates?
Or are you "popping" them up and out?

What does "popper" mean? It sounds like something designed to intentionally deflate the trackball on top of the overpass to make it harder to remove. I really hope I'm misinterpreting the intent of the word here.

<edit>If it's just a funny name for something used to remove a trackball from the overpass, I don't understand why it would be talked about in the context of the end game. The hybrid period at the beginning of the match calls for such a design as well.</edit>

I think he means popping it out of the overpass, we've been calling it a ball knocker and we're absolutely making one.

Real good explanation. I definitely know what a popper is.

How about we call it a "Sonic Electronic Ball Breaker"? </Aliens movie refference>

After holding the materials for my poker, more affectionaly known as a lance named "The Impaler," I am no longer worried about strength of the mechanism :)

We might. I'll pop the idea to the team. A few people have had the idea -- one even had a boxing glove. It was awesometastic.
