@Bryce: Holla! Yeah ping pong balls were great for us because they were cheap and easily available, plus you NEVER had to worry about running out in a match. My one concern with using them in an FRC game would be just that so many of them break, and they're a nightmare to clean up (our carpet still has pieces ground in).
