What to do with all these poof balls?

[efoote868]

I vote that we all get together this summer, and have a gigantic dodge-ball thing... robots, humans, it'll all be wholesome, good FIRST fun...

[Chriszuma]

Or all of us that have shooter robots can use them to help the war efforts in Iraq. How freaky would a wave of poof balls be?

For some reason I find that whole thought disturbing.....

Dodgeball of course. We had several spontaneous matches erupt throughout the build season.

We found out that Poof balls make good padding when crating up your robot.

We had a dodgeball eruption during our driver and co-pilot practice. It ended with our mentor being cornered by a bunch of kids pelting endless amounts of Poof balls at him

thats hilarious!

our team had a team "bonding" day one Saturday during build. and we all went to our gym and played volleyball with some balls that a kid brought in(his mom works at a local volleyball clinic thing, so we had tons)
we had two courts set up... needless to say the court next to mine got a brilliant idea... they all picked up spare volleyballs. i look over, and tell my friend "take cover" he's like "huh? OH!" no sooner was that said than the other court screams "3 2 1 dodge ball!" and volleyballs just go flying!

i like the CD pal thing honestly. I think that could be really cool. Any chance of that actually happening?

our team is not following the normal build season and is just starting our robot now. We live in Welland Canada and would gladly pay the shipping for a team around our area to send us a few of their balls

contact me at jacobbiljo@hotmail.com if you have a proposal

ummmm....... what !?!?

( you cant toss information like that here on CD without explaining - your team is building a robot but not competing? )

[Bryan NDbotics]

yes plz, i am on jacobbiljo's team. we are not competing this year, we are just doing a test run to get started, there is another team from our reigon that has been helping us immensly and that is SimBotics from govenor Simcoe in St Catherines. anyway we are despreatly in need of poof balls to help with the build since they are no longer in stock on the poof site. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

[jacobbiljo]

We will be competing in the Canada's Wonderland invitational tournament

[MChapman]

We are definently have a big "bombardment" game. A.K.A. dodgeball. This is what our team calls dodgeball.

[Sharkbyte]

One of our balls ripped, so we hollowed it out, stuffed a t-shirt in it and duct taped the opening. We're going to run it through the shooter after our 2nd regional. Let's just say that wadded up t-shirts have a little more mass than a poof ball

[KRoth]

Everyones pitching their ideas for their teams personal stash of balls. But what about FIRST's thousands of poof balls used for all the regionals and the championship event? Even after all the dodge ball games that could be held, what will FIRST do with all those left over poof balls?! I'm sure they came up with a plan long before they finalized the game (Atleast I hope they did!), and I really want to know what it is!
(And does anyone have an official count of how many FIRST has used for this challenge?)

Guns and RPG's vs. poof balls.....not the best matchup
