Re: Trackball inflation

As in previous years, the design of the robot should be robust enough to account for variances in trackball size and weight. Competitions are too dynamic to spend time measuring and adjusting trackballs between every match. Precision has its place in robotics, but interaction with real world environments is not it!

Be assured that every match will start out with big giant red and blue trackballs and they will be ABOUT 40" in diameter and ABOUT 10 pounds. They may even be approximately spherical!
