Re: How will the Balls Change once FIRST Paints them
The problems that were in the past are in the past. I don't think we need to argue about what happened and what didn't. People that think nothing happen just don't know because it didn't effect them.

Whenever there is a problem FIRST goes out of their way to try to correct the problem with the teams, and that is why most others don't have a clue about it. The point I was trying to make was that this year we have a task that is going to take great precision and I want to reduce the variables as much as possible for all of us.

Everyone sees videos of teams shooting 10 balls in one second and they say that looks easy. Well put that device in a remote controlled robot being controlled by someone 30 feet away with many visual obstructions, other teams trying to stop them, on a not so flat arena floor, with batteries that are changing there state of charge, and more. This is going to be a really hard game to play good. I was trying to make everyone aware of another variable.

I still think there is a good chance the balls will be certain colors to help sort them between matches.
