Re: **IMPORTANT FIRST EMAIL BLAST**/Game Tip and 2004 Competition Manual Information!!

Well, I'm thinking that if Vmax is truly a max, it's going to be something that is unalterable by teams, so it can't the max speed of robots, motors, etc. Anybody ever play with wiffle balls? Those plastic balls with the holes in them? Those reach terminal velocity pretty quick, maybe around 10 fps... They are also cheap and plentiful, so we don't need to worry about them being hard to find. Who knows?
