Re: Annoyed with the Lunacy balls!

we got 3 and they all have broken bands, throwing them at our trailer really kills them... :D

Re: Annoyed with the Lunacy balls!

really? Most of our broken balls were either thrown, missed the trailer, and smasked against the wall, or ran into by our (team 288 Robodawgs and 216 Robodawgs OTL) robots and get smashed between them or a wall

Re: Annoyed with the Lunacy balls!

Has anyone had any luck repairing broken bands on the official orbit balls yet? Has anyone tried?

I was going to try creating a "splint" for the break with strips cut from a plastic milk jug and some pop-rivets tonight... we'll see how that goes.

Please share your results - does the splint actually work, does it change the properties of the ball, etc.
