Ours balls don't look that bad yet, but we're expecting the field ones to be in pretty bad shape.

Re: pic: Kit ball vs. New ball
Our head mentor said "look these balls wont smash" and stomped on it. It broke in 3 places. I can expect them to be roughed up but cannot imagine quite like that.

That ball has been through a lot, all of our prototypes used it and it has been the practice ball for the kids. I doubt they will get that bad before being removed but it's possible.

Re: pic: Kit ball vs. New ball
Why this ball has certainly seen a considerable amount of abuse, none of it was that far out of the question of what a normal match would be.

This ball has been kicked, tossed, and shot around the lab since kickoff to reach this point. While I'm sure not too many balls will end up like this after a match, they certainly can't handle an extended amount of abuse.

Re: pic: Kit ball vs. New ball
One has to wonder... is this the worst kids gift of all time? "Wild Time" Orbit Ball... I can imagine giving this ball to a child and having them break it in less than 2 minutes. What "wild time" could a person actually have with this ball before breaking it? Misnomer? False advertising?

BTW: I am in the picture, to the left of the Northeastern president, behind the robot. Cool!

Re: pic: Kit ball vs. New ball
Yikes. That ball has seen the end of its days for sure. I'm guessing they'll take the balls off the field before they look like that (or I will? I'm field repair/reset at CTR ).
