You're $@#$@#$@#$@#ing kidding me, right?

I'm one of the first to put FIRST to task for BS they pull at times and call people out, but that's just wrong. FIRST had every intention this past year to have the game objects easy to get, not their fault Orbit Balls were discontinued a month before the game was announced (FIRST not knowing this and making changes is a different topic.)

Every year FIRST has made concessions to make playing objects, field components, etc easy and cheap to get from any hardware, toy, or super store. Do we forget the standard soccer balls from 2002? How about the bins that every Target* carried?
