I think you are confused between the rules and Joe's big joke about having 3' balls in the game. Since it clearly stated in the rules that the ball are to be inflated to 30", then do not keep your balls at 36". At kickoff, even though the big ball sat on top of the goal peacefully, when the goal came down the bridge, it was really top heavy and refused to stay at its up right position. The goal felt right down on the bridge as it rushed toward the ground, and the ball felt out as well. You might want to check the kickoff video again to see. But at least I am certain that our goal reacted the same as the kickoff one's. But then again, with the blue print supplied, no one can really build the exact field that will act perfectly like FIRST's.

Is it possible that when you inflate the balls to 36" and get it back to 30", the balls won't have the shape they are supposed to have anymore?
