Well that's only going to work if we can get up to 88 MPH!

The problem is acceleration we have less than 54 feet to get up to speed

Due to this pdf on the differences between the Veteran and the Rookie KOP and the sizes of the batteries, I'd say B and F are undeniably batteries

Better make sure we have decagonal wheels to maximize traction.

Where we're playing, we won't need carpet.

Also, maybe we'll hear some legitimate requests for flux capacitors from pit admin this year! :rolleyes:

3x3x60 has to be something special that can't be easily purchased. I can't see any other reason for a package like that. So it has to be some type of game piece(s) that are long and ridged or some special surface rolled up ie...... sticky, slippery....... for a ramp or other terrain.

3 inch diameter is going to require something very flexible if it is a game surface.

Capture the flag?

I'm guessing the 3x3x60 box has a roll of retroreflective material or some other sort of sheet that needs to be rolled up. I don't think it's bumper material because it's generally pretty easy to get, unless they've decided that they didn't like different materials (i.e., sailcloth, pleather, etc.) and want to standardize, but I don't imagine that being the case. If it's a round tube, they can be pretty heavy anyway (2.4 lbs, http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/...aps-125-thick).

According to Wikipedia, an MLB baseball is 2-7/8 in - 3in in diameter, and weighs between 5-5.25 ounces. Doing the math on that would mean that a 3X3X60 box would be about right for holding 20 baseballs and would weigh 6.25-6.5625lbs.

Yeah, baseballs aren't going to happen....as fun as that would be. They have a bad habit of being deadly.
