Re: Update on the Orbit Balls

Blip does not have any in stock and cannot get any more made until March (after Chinese New Year). They had told us we could only buy from them in min quantity of 1200, which actually we figured was fine because we could just set up a webstore for teams to buy from us, but then they came back with the March date and that completely killed that idea. Im really hoping FIRST has something up their sleeve like that they are going to sell all their competition balls and work with Blip to get more for themselves by March. Oh and the price Blip initially gave us (without being able to work with a manager) was $8/ball. Not to say thats what Walmart or FIRST pays, just what they told us, so the Walmart price really isnt that much higher.
