Re: Ball Chasing

My guess would be that once the balls are dropped its going to be crazy. And my crazy I mean like totally nuts. Theres going to be balls all over the place. Do you think they might bounce? (The team members that got the kit of parts haven't returned yet so I haven't had the chance to play with the stuff). If they bounce it will be insane. Even if they don't I think it will be very hard to control more than two at a time unless a very nice pusher thing is developed. I also think that it is very likely that some robots may knock off both of the bonus balls. In fact my team might try to pick up both because they are both worth 10 points to us. As far as a bot that catches all of the balls.... it'd be cool I guess. I'm not sure.
