Many thanks to all the parents, team members, mentors, spouses of mentors, grandparents, and random people who just volunteered off the street to help make all these orbit balls. Here's to an awesome Rally!

Great job all! :D

Color key:
Black are empty cells
Camo are super cells
Black/Red/White are moon rocks (as are all the store bought ones)

Greta job and that probably took a long time. I love the colors, they are sick

If they're anything like the real thing, a lot of them will be broken soon. You might want to make some more. :rolleyes:

Fantastic!

After Scrimmage, please post an update on how well these balls held up to some robot rough-housing.

After all that effort, those Super Cell/Awards are going to be a valuable commodity! :cool:

Ours will probably be more robust than the real ones. The real ones use a cheap plastic connector that is easily broken. These are pop-riveted together for each strip. Not to say they won't break - just that they're pretty tough. We're actually concerned that these will be more robust than the real balls which is why we're not replacing the few real ones we got so that we can use those for our official "testing".

Thanks also to Gus for the help with the video and instructions.

Cheers,

Don't sweat it, John.
Our robot just turned some of our orbit balls to masses of broken plastic and fabric.

It's ok...Gentlemen, we can rebuild them. We have the technology. We have the capability to make FIRST's best orbit balls. Better than they were before. Better. Stronger. Faster. ;)

You must make a video of your build process using this song.
