Something to be worried about regarding fast moving soccer balls is their effect on computers and scorekeepers at the judges table. It was a problem this past year.

What would be fun however is a field with nerf ball cannons along the sides where randomly chosen observers from the crowd get to shoot nerf balls at the robots and either help or hinder them. It would certainly make the game more interesting for the viewers since they would be a part of it and never know if they were going to be picked until the last minute.

Then of course the math formula everyone is assuming is about projectile motion might be the formaula for the curvature of a field surface.....

might be the shape of half a football...

or a half pipe shaped field.....

or a pedestal with curved sides ......

or a conical pit or goal where the ball at the bottom gets the highest points....
