30" ball sits up there real pretty

Engineer on team #111, Wildstang, from Rolling Meadows & Wheeling HS and Motorola.



When I was watching the game demo at the kickoff via satellite, I thought they said the big balls were 3 feet diameter. But the rules clearly state that they are to be inflated to 30". Was I dreaming during the kickoff or did anyone else hear that the balls were 36" dia.?

At the kickoff the big ball seemed to not easily stay on top of the goal and looked quite a bit larger than the top of the goal. We had 1 goal built on Sunday and it also seemed to sit up there rather tentively. But our ball was inflated to 36".

We just tried it last night while letting the air out of the ball to get it to 30". It made a hugh difference. We were able to let the goal roll down the ramp (bridge) by itself with a big ball on top and it never tipped over and the ball never fell out.
