Re: Hangin'-A-Round -- Official Game Discussion
 
I like this game - it provides for many different strategies and different ways of winning. For instance, you could score the majority of balls, but they would have the doubler and win (or vice versa - they have the doubler, but not enough balls scored to win). The platform in the middle is interesting too - will the game play cause the lazy susan to be spinning lots, and will that interfere with anything? When robots are going to hang, will spinning knock them off? Will there be enough space for your robot to get on the platform on the end, nevermind space enough to hang?

The hanging is particularly fun - There are 4 possibly 18" by 18" robots on the field - the bar is only 33"? wide - if two bots are both 18" wide they can't fit - if one 12" robot is in the middle of the bar, you'll only have 10" on either side to hang. It may get competitive.

Using Google a few night ago I searched high and low and came up empty.

PS: Yes - I do want exactly that model in factory-fresh condition.

Well, I have answered my own question. Because I am both picky and stubborn, I kept digging until I found a YWCS11 supplier.

Use the contact info below to order YWCS11 softballs for $27/Dozen. That price includes shipping to your doorstep within the continental US (unless you live in some really exotic spot). That is half the price I recently paid for individual balls that weren't even the "official" Hangin' Around balls.

************************************************** *******
Our price for the softballs- $26.99/dozen which includes shipping. If at all possible order even dozens- that's how they're sold and consequently somewhat better priced.
