That would make things a whole lot easier on the judges i am sure

From the rules:

Quote:

6.3 GAME PIECES
The game pieces, known as “TRACKBALLS,” are large balls made of an inflatable plastic bladder
and an outer fabric covering. When inflated, each TRACKBALL is approximately 40 inches in
diameter, and weighs approximately 10 pounds. Two TRACKBALLS of each alliance color, red and
blue, are in the arena during the MATCH. One TRACKBALL of each color will be marked with a set
of six-inch diameter white dots so that it may be uniquely identified for tracking purposes during the
match.

Team 708 got a blue one.

We started to inflate it, but it seemed inflated PRIOR to filling the cover. Will add some more air today to see if we can FULLY inflate it :eek:

Knowing Qbranch and seeing some of the stuff hes come up with in the past I'm sure he'll come up with something to use the dots for that the judges hadn't planned. :ahh:

Whats the chance of some sort of tracking device following and locking onto the dots? ;)

Blue. Did you guys fill yours until the bag the ball was in was completely taut?

Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
 
Blue. Sounds totally random to me, dudes.

There are isntructions that are a good idea to read before filling your ball, they explain how much to fill it.
