Posted by Dodd Stacy on 1/12/2001 8:35 PM EST:



OK. I have the NASA video of the game and when they had teams being the robots one team pushed the goal to the human player to load. I freze framed a part where the goal was close to the camera and in full view.
All the balls stacked left right left right on top of each other and the total count was 11 but the top ball was just below the top of the goal and would stop a large ball from sitting purfectly on top.
With no large ball on top it would be possible to get one more in for a total of 12....
Assuming all the balls are the proper size.

: I'm surprised by the +/- 2" tolerance on the big balls, but I'm REALLY confused about the small balls. We just blew up the 12 balls we have left from last year to 13" diameter and put them in our new goal, and there appears to be room for at least 3 or 4 more.

: Our kickoff coaches swear only 12 fit in at kickoff. Is this a repeat of Ladder Logic, where the kickoff balls were overinflated and could be lodged firmly in the ladder rails, and the game balls were so much smaller they almost fell through? Any other teams have a data point here? How many small balls fit in your goal?
