We are looking at videos of 2008 robots and would like to understand if similar mechanisms would work with the 2014 ball or if ball characteristics are different enough to require significant modifications.
The cover seems like the same fabric.

The 2008 ball was 8 pounds and 40" in diameter. This year's ball is 2 pounds.
