Our velcro hooks were very capable of sticking to the ball. a 1"x1" square of velcro hooks managed to suspend the ball and hold it in the air. When scraping the velcro over the ball it caused the covering to poof up a bit, or get it a little fuzzy. Overall I say that there was no damage to the ball that would consider damaging a field. No more damage was done to that ball than a bot scratching some plexiglass sides of the field by colliding with it, and that hardly warrents a penalty.
