Not according to my memory. I'm pretty sure we got them in the kit. You could buy extras locally, but every year my team has received the game piece in the KOP.

Baseball is a bit too structured to work in the 2:20 madcap world that is a FIRST round. But how about cricket? It could work sort of like Aim High, except on the ground. Maybe something like this:

-Team A has ball, aims for target behind Team B (big points for hitting it)
-Team B tries to hit ball, then travel between two points, gaining points each time they do-however, Team A can hit target during that time unless Team B's robots are near it
-Eventually, teams switch like in Aim High-last "free-for-all" period not necessary, though

Yep the 2006 KOP included 1 poofball, at least thats what the KOP checklist said.

OK, I stand corrected. We evidently were offered a deal to purchase additional balls.

For Triple Play, you had to build your own tetras, but they gave you the end caps.

Yes, we were... AFTER New England ran completely out of them. Be quick to pick up the pieces if there's a lot of them! (See http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=41367)

Every year, you are given 1 of the game pieces and then have the option to buy more. Most teams do. (I think the exception was 2003--those bins would have been hard to fit in the KOP!)
