Re: <G12> and Ball Damage

If you have a collection of VEX balls from Clean Sweep laying around they make a reasonable analog for smaller scale testing of wheel surface on a coated foam ball.

Like Jesse, we didn't notice any significant difference between tread material and marking a ball in our testing. The only ball our prototype "ate" was when there was a missfeed.
