I'm finding it hard to believe that - yet again - FIRST has failed in the basic constraint of having readily available or constructed game pieces for testing and for running non-official events. I would think we'd have learned this lesson 2 years ago with the orbit balls. It's not as if these game pieces (or the expected demand for them) is coming as a surprise - or that they haven't known for months they'd need them. A basic requirement for EVERY FIRST game should be that the field and game pieces should be either easily constructed or readily available throughout the build season.
