It is. There were 6" balls filled with water worth 1 point a piece, and 13" balls worth 5 points a piece. Each team had it's own PVC goal corral. The 6" balls could be rolled in but the 13" balls were requiring to be lifted in. It's also worth noting that robots were smaller back then, with maximum dimensions of a 3 foot cube (which is very difficult to fit through a regulation size door ).

I looked this stuff up on first-a-holics after I wrote this post and found it all to be correct (I wasn't even 2 when this game was played)...

Remember guys, in order to figure out the game, look at what Grady said three years prior.
