donations
I have played soccer for every year of my life since I was five. I grew up in a soccer playing family, and through the years have gained a numerous amount of size five soccer balls. If your team doesn't want to spare a few hundred dollars for balls, consider this; take donations from friends or other students who would be willing to loan you a soccer ball or two. All size fives should be similar enough in size and pressure to work fine in the robot design. Also, you may be able to ask your school if you can use the team's soccer balls, but I think it is unlikely that the athletics departmet will let you take them. They are on a tight budget too and I bet they won't want to take any risks of having them destroyed. Also, the soccer team may not appreciate having you take them either. You may be able to ask your town's parks and rec department for donations if they have a soccer league in the fall and spring, but the same circumstances may apply. Ask around your school and friends for loans, that may be the best and least expensive way.
