They are extremely slippery, it like some one took them all and sprayed them with PAM or something. This is due to the oil they use to remove the balls from the injection molding. I dont not know if through out the day they will get better or worse, so I just though I would let everybody know. Again Extremely slippery balls, your team should consider wrapping rollers in something to grap at balls better.

So that slippery sensation
wasn't from the French Fries from Greg's Place.
Yeah, I definitely noticed that. Compared to the balls we practiced with, the balls we had today were like greased water balloons.
Thankfully, this is better for our robot, because now there isn't as much friction between the balls. And us human players seem to have adjusted well enough.
