1)Herding balls is important but anyone can do it. Whoever can master the 2x balls will rule this game.

2) Standing up to the physical challenges of this game. By making the 10 foot bar and the 2X ball part of this game FIRST has made us build spread out, high COG robots, Keeping upright and staying out of your pit, ie twisted aluminum, will be a challenge for many.

3)Boxes, the 2x balls are nice though, I can use them for pilates. Last year was my first year so the physics of the balls is new to me. I don't like the rubber balls against the carpet, at least the boxes would slide...eek, watch out for a lot of popped balls. Shatter boxes will slide but busted balls won't roll.
