Re: Low quality 2X ball?
While FIRST may not have planned for the 2x balls to pop so frequently, I think it added a nice element to the game. There were some teams I saw who would go and pop the 2x balls every match. Then these teams, who set their ball grabbing arms to "overkill", needed to change their arms a little.

Also, I think it was a good learning experience that shows that in engineering, some variables change that you may not be ready for. Ask Dave Lavery. I mean, just because the mars rover could traverse over terrain on Earth in testing, does that mean it will be able to on Mars?
