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.

our balls that we have been using with our first version(wood) shooting system.. has been ripping the balls coverings off and spitting the paint all over our bot... i hope that FIST has thought about the fact that these balls they use must be 'robo proof'
