Re: Different Types of Balls?

Team 23 didn't look into it since there was nothing we could do about it to help our situation at the time, but we noticed that by the end of qualifiers in WPI almost none of the balls were the same size anymore. At the same time, however, there were some that still fit into our cannon like brand new despite being torn apart. Whether it be different balls or just being worn down at different rates we are not sure.

Unfortunately for our team, being driven by fan power on a shooter, that meant our scoring power was severely crippled. We went from being one of the best scorers in the early matches to being one of the worst by the end. Had it not been for our ability to balance, Team 23 would've been dead in the water.
