Gopher SoftiBall - 2016 Game Piece

While I like the game overall, So far, I'm pretty disappointed with the Gopher Softiball as the "boulder". Ours was already dented and waffled from being crammed in the KOP. These things are going to get absolutely destroyed. Also, why does it cost so much for what it is, and with the volume that the FIRST community will do on this particular item why are we not getting better pricing like this school district (large PDF). In the kind of volume for these things in FIRST this season, it seems to be like this should be a $5 item, not a $30+ item.

The JW Hole-ee Roller would have been such a better choice.
