Re: Crushing Balls?

The problem is the bumpers are at a great height to destroy any ball stuck between robot and wall. We've not tested, or attempted to test, this with our precious supplies of imported balls, but I suspect that they will break before they squirt out of the way. I will expect this to not be considered intentional damage. Shredding ones you intentionally pick up I expect to be called a penalty.

Playing with the balls that have been shipped (thanks 388!) I've found that one or two connections break quickly, then a quick clean of the failed glue and replacement holds it just fine. We have had no major failures of our balls outside maybe one failed connection per ball.
