Small game hint!

Yes, that's what he's saying.

I think they mean like black inflatable playground balls, which would be called "cannonballs" in the game manual. It's not out of the question for sure.

Maybe there will be really small balls like tennis balls or foam shaped rocks.
Of course if its a Monty Python styled game it could mean throwing anything from stuffed rabbits to cows.

Anyone up for a mini trebuchet?

My son would probably not be the only one who would be thrilled if this were true.

From the sounds of it, Dean is trying to create speculation around these game pieces. Well, he sure is accomplishing it.

Anyhow, I do think that we will see some form of spherical-shaped game piece, what we do with it can be anybody's guess.

Connecting it to the "Security Breach" video that gives us barely anything to work off of, Jake says "And these game pieces... I haven't seen these before". From my perspective, he makes it sound like a sarcastic comment, but I may have interpreted that incorrectly. If it is sarcastic, it could mean some form of a sphere for a game piece.

It's clear that Dean states there is a possibility of having some sort of sphere. He flat out says "maybe". It's not out of the question, but this doesn't prove anything, sadly.

It could be anything

Which puts us precisely where we were six months ago, but slightly more entertained.

Cannonballs(Dodgeballs) would make sense. with the theme.

I would argue this is not the first themed game though. Most heavy theme ever yes. If recycle rush was not themed pool noodles would not have been called litter.

I was hoping for bowling balls to simulate cannonballs - although field repair between matches could be a challenge.

Field Repair? Throwing bowling balls might cause us to need more human repair

Yes, this is what I meant.

I meant that I can't tell if people are taking this as a serious game hint

[Jonathan L.]

What if he meant there would be some criteria which would decide if the balls would be, or would not be on the field.

Something like this?

[Citrus Dad]

Remember the bin of rubber ducks many months ago? (I'm not digging up the link...)

[IronicDeadBird]

I'm still hoping against all odds that it isn't capture the flag or cannon balls but it is some sort of jousting...

If Disney can do for FRC what they did for Star Wars, then I look forward to a really good game this year.
