I think the real question is: What's going to happen to the balls as the days of the competition progress? I think they will become torn, matted and maybe they will lose a bit of air because of how many times they will be shot from various mechanisms.
However, I think FIRST thought ahead and there will be hundreds of spare balls at the competitions...Looks like POOF inc. will be making (or already has made) lots and lots of money.
