I am more concerned about the balls-that is a very unique product offered by a single company (and only to the US!) and if the worst-case scenario happens, which it has, many teams will end up not being able to touch one. I'm wondering why they didn't just go with a more standard type of ball. Between these two issues and the trailer, I'm very worried that low-budget teams will be seriously lacking in practice.
I was also concerned about wheels. The flooring material can be simulated using tile floor, the balls are also a concern however. Perhaps one of our teams outside the US could post how expensive/delayed AndyMark parts are.
