So my guess is that as long as there aren't giant chunks of foam coming from the balls, then I don't think the refs will have a problem.
It seems to me that if the outer shell comes off, the ball could easily be considered damaged. Hopefully FIRST will clarify this soon, as I'm sure there are several designs that may need to be modified if this is the case.
