Their avg weight is no where near the avg weight of the grey balls.
Just make sure to keep that in mind as it affects how each team tuned their robot.

hmmm that is interesting. We also purchased gopher balls and I weighed some this morning. I have one official unused game ball left which weighs 280 grams

The average weight of several orange Gopher balls (also unused) was 279 grams.

I had several that were slightly more than 280 but most around 278--279 gms

I can't speak to the variability inweight of the game balls... I only have one left that has not been used.

If your tuning is significantly changed by a <5 gram difference i weight I would be wary... our shooter was not that picky.
