Re: Where to buy Balls?

Wait a second...

Ball #1 from Palos is a Tachikara ball and FIRST says explicitly in the Q&A's that the balls in Manchester were NOT Tachikara balls.

In Team Update #2 (Page 3) FIRST says that the correct model number for the ball is 10089 from Palos Sports and they add that we should not be thrown off by the color, since they are not available to us in purple and yellow as shown in Manchester. This seems to imply that 10089 will be used in competition.

BUT Brad just said that they received 10089 and that it is quite different from the ball in the kit. Does that mean that FIRST shipped us a different ball in the kit or that they will be using a different ball in the competition than the one they want us to buy?

How much does the difference between the balls matter? Surely a basketball player has to deal with balls that have slightly different textures, and weigh slightly differently? We're a rookie team so we don't really know.

Thanks,
~Gabriel
