Again with the not theory, they said they would not be celebrating the 20th anniversary of FIRST (I thought i read that somewhere) but would wait for the 25th anniversary celebration. Just the sort of thing to throw us in the complete opposite direction.

But we have worked with different varieties of spheres (different sizes and textures). I hardly consider the 2009 orbit balls as balls. As much as I would love to work with something that I cannot find the diameter of, I can't help but notice that the game pieces are getting progressively smaller.
I also don't mean to hijack the thread, but I know it'll come up eventually:

another thread, and that it's probably just a tennis ball and brand has nothing to do with the hint, I do think that involving reels would make for an interesting game (entanglement issues aside).
