I would say store it overhead, but the height limit doesn't enough space to do that easily either.
Remember that pit height is limited to 10 ft. also. If you have a pit storage/display structure that uses all of the height allowed, you could hang a trackball in a net while it is not in use. There would be room for shorter team members to stand under it.

Hmm, might be better just to deflate trackballs that aren't being used.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
