So the remaining question then, is can we buy out AndyMark's supply?

There's obviously a finite amount there. Is it appreciably big enough to supply the needs of all FRC teams?

They got so many orders that they haven't been able to contact people that have placed orders with them to tell them that they will not be getting their supplies. My new favorite phrase is TGAM - Thank God for AndyMark!

I just called Gopher as well to verify that we weren't charged. Their e-mail stated the item was discontinued but never said they cancelled the order. Gopher verified our order had been cancelled and apologized for a "website issue" that caused the balls to show as "In Stock."

The foam basketballs are now nowhere to be found on the Gopher website.

Thats amazing! I'm assuming from your previous post that you placed your order on January 9?

I find it strange that my order from January 7 was cancelled. Maybe Gopher processes their orders in backwards order? At least AndyMark still has them in stock.

Backwards indeed... Squirrel only ordered his 5 after I posted saying I ordered my 2, & I just TODAY got the out of stock/not sending you an order type e-mail.
Unless, as opposed to backwards fulfillment of orders, they just fulfilled larger orders to get the most money without losing out on shipping. Either way... What a bunch of.... Well, you know.

Do your Gopher balls function the same as the ones included in the KOP, meaning are they the same size, density and weight? The ones that we ordered from Gopher are heavier and more dense.
