What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Red or Blue?
237 got a red one, 228 got a blue one. Kinda weird I guess. I figured everyone would just get the same color since it won't really matter. (unless you want to try and track a blob of red or blue color I guess) Who's going to have more results in the end? Red or Blue?? The Trackball poll race is officially on!! |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
We got Red. The real question is if anyone got a Trackball with the large white dots. (are they also nylon?)
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Blue and Blue for 830 and 469.
That rules out an odd-even theory. But personally, I would love a polka-dotted ball. _Alex |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Go Red Ball Team!
Ha! But who has their balls all the way inflated and haven't popped yet! :p |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Red here with no dots. I too am curious as to how the dots are attached.:confused: :confused:
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Did anybody else notice that some of the Trackballs in the kickoff video had spots on them? Vision balls? Did anyone get or know where to get those?
On a slight deviation from this thread, but still related through the transitive property of trackballs, does anyone know if using static infrared lighting (not modulated, should not interfere with the IR transmissions) for the camera is illegal? -q |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
The "dots" on the balls as they are being called here, seemed to be just vinyl sticker paper you can buy at say any office store that were cut into circles and put on the places of the ball as shown at kickoff.
I'm sure they may be more than just "stickers" and held on more securely (with a glue of some kind??) but they were not painted on, and they had a slight thickness to them such as the above mentioned sticker paper. I guess if anyone wants to know specifics on them they can always ask FIRST directly, as this was just a quality of them I noticed from the official field at the Kickoff in Manchester, NH. |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
I was hoping for a blue on. But, we got red.
Also, we inflated ours once already, and we have not popped it. But, we always deflate stuff when not in use, and we don't kick them around. |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
blue one for 540 and we have allready started building a rough overpass
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?

Whats the chance of some sort of tracking device following and locking onto the dots? ;) |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Red! Appropriate for the NEW Apple Corps!! We'll be putting a stem and leaf on it shortly!! :)
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
PURPLE!!! hex yeah suckas :P
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
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. Don |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Just how much air does that thing take?
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
870 got a red one.
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
973 got a red one. In fact I think we got two of them, both red. I'll check later, it's 4:30am so my memory may be a little off.
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
1405 got red
did anyone actually use hot glue? we didn't |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Blue for 2108!
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
blue one for 230
Sidenote: Is there anyway to get another track ball? P.s. if question was asked sry if i repated it. |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Our team 279 color is blue and we got a blue one. The team that we started many years ago, 451 has been using red and they got a red one.
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
team 1203 got a blue one
doubt the color of the ball means anything but you know first |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
408 got a blue one
Maybe they sent different colors to different regions And the poll looks pretty 50:50 |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
There is no vote for both. So 340/424 somehow ended up with 1 red & 1 blue.
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
1535 Knights of Alloy got a red trackball. But last night it burst:( . Not to worry though we patched it up!
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Team 195 got a red ball in our kit.
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Red for 1618, blue for 1293. The kits containing them at the Clemson kickoff were handed out in a pseudorandom method (read: whoever was next in line got the next tote off the pile).
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
blue
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
We got red. (Qbranch nice avatar)
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
blue... i'm in the minority!
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
We got blue it kinda of awesome b/c it is one of our school colors:D :]
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
We inflated our ball on the day of kickoff, we bounce, throw, and abuse the heck outta that ball, and its still holding strong. However as we were taking the cover out, and unfolding it, a kid literaly touched the zipper, and it fell off. any one else suffer from zipper failure?
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Our zipper pull fell off, too. Cleverly, we didn't notice till the ball was almost inflated and it was waaaay on the other side.:yikes:
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
It seems like the results are almost 50/50, though this means nothing because it is barely 15% of the FIRST teams, and there probably have been multiple people from the same teams posting.
I like our blue ball. When we roll it down the hall, it reminds me of when Violet Beauregarde turns into a gigantic blueberry in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Plus, it's our team color...it's like FIRST knew or something--and 108 posts for blue! Very nice coincidence. |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
red. since there have been over 200 ppl posting, I am going to say its 50/50.
-vivek |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Actually, 15% is generally regarded as an excellent sample for a group of this size.
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
i'm just curious... why does this matter

Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?

|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Blue. Too.
|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?

|
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?

Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
It's interesting to see the results so far are basically split evenly, less than a 2% difference with red in the lead currently.
Hopefully only one person has voted from each team too, otherwise the results would be worthless. I didn't vote since Elgin has already placed the vote for 237. ;) |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
384 and 1086 got blues :)
kinda funny because blue is a major mascot color in both of the teams |

Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
Our trackball was blue.
Until I saw other teams posting pictures of prototypes with their red trackballs, I was also under the impression that everyone got the same color. |
Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
2207 recieved a red ball in our kit, have inflated it, kicked it, sat on it, poked it, shoved through small doorways, and hasn't popped, just has one rip in the fabric which we fixed with red duct tape

Re: What color Trackball did you get in your kit?
We got blue(I think thats already been said). We played with it all the time, throwing across the lab, at each other, at the overpass, everything. We've had some awesome volleyball games, and its not ripped or popped yet.
