As far as we know it's no flaw of our robot.
Every metal surface that is anything other than totally smooth is covered with roughtop tread.
From watching the videos again, it seemed like the balls were popping whenever we were being pushed into something by other robots either very hard, or at high speed.
Since they weren't putting new balls out, and were just taping up the old ones from what I could see from the stands/other side of the field, I think that also had something to do with it. The tape was probably just blowing off the holes whenever the ball got compressed between our robot and said stationary object.
