Re: Where to buy Balls?

Thanks for the real info Andy - sounds like alot of the newbies to CD are missing the point of these posts. Everyone, if you want to be competitive in this competition you need to work with the EXACT information and materials - including field components, motor specs, etc. and then decide what you can compromise or simulate. Testing your mechanisms and human players with ANY 13 inch playground balls versus THE 13 inch playground balls can lead you down the wrong path - they won't roll, bounce, compress, weigh the same and you'll be in trouble.

If you don't know the answer accurately, don't post it. It took 27 posts to get the right answer here.
