Plug for the big yellow ball
 

Does anyone know what we are supposed to use to plug up the big yellow ball after we blow it up? Was this one of the things that they forgot to put in our kit?

Hmmmm - we were missing the plug as well; I was ready to blame the students for losing it. Anybody else not get a plug?

This ball is similar to the one from 2001 - I think we still have the ball and hopefully the plug; it's a long narrow piece of white plastic.

I don't know if we got a plug (since we blew up our 2001 ball) but we are using a bolt in that and it is working quite well.

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

We did. There was a plug and a air nozzle in a small clear plastic bag.

Team 217 as well did not recieve a plug for the large ball.

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

We did not recieve our plug. We had to use on from a excersise ball we had at my house.

We have not located ours yet. And as of Saturday afternoon, 1135 could not find theirs either.

THATS WHAT THAT $@#$@#$@#$@# THING WAS!!!! lol, thank you, we were checking in our kit this afternoon and we could not figure out what the hell that thing was
thanks guys,
just fax FIRST by friday and you can get anything you need, god, we have tons of stuff we're missing

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

No plug for us. We're using a plug from our 2000 balls.

Make sure to recheck ur kits because we found it, its a small plastic cone shaped thingamajig if i am correct, we didnt realize what it was at first, but now that i think of it, i believe that is what it looks like.

DUCT TAPE!!! A Huge X works wonders!
:yikes:

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

JP- my borther, another duct tape application

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

Duct tape fixes EVERYTHING...

...and what duct tape can't handle, zip ties will.

:D

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

No plug here either!!

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball... Golf Tee
 

A golf tee worked for us.

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

We located ours last night. The big ball was in one big bag.

The small ball was in another bag and inside that bag was a plug and a nozzle.
The small balls do not require a plug like in 2001!

Before contacting FIRST please look in the small ball bag :)

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

Team 11 has no plug :(

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

Our ball didn't come with a plug, either. The plugs from the 2000 balls works, though. That's what we're using at the moment.

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

Team 1022 could not find their plug we used wet paper and duct tape. :yikes: it worked very well!

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

our team does not have a plug. it was really funny because one of our freshmen blew up the ball (with the air from his lungs because i didnt have a pump at my house) and then we couldnt find the plug. we used duct tape and air leaked, so the ball deflated, but he was really lightheaded for the rest of the meeting.

i have searched the kits again and all of the small bags and still didnt find it. how do i notify FIRST of this (because it isnt on the list of KOP to check (or not check) off )??

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

ours is gone too, ripped an eraser off a pemcil. worked great.

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

LOL, yeah, we thought the student that opened it lost it, we tried to plug it up with like a piece of rolled up paper and duck tape over it, but it didn't work out that well. We jsut bought a new one.

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball
 

Okay... I think we've had enough people post to say they don't have a plug. Check your kit to make sure you're not overlooking it, and if you don't have one, use one of these great solutions posted above.
