Re: how many balls have YOU deflated?

I think team 422 gets credit for popping the first 5pt ball in a practice round... We were testing several methods of getting up the 6 in. platform at the DC practice arena, and having succeeded in getting up one way we went off the platform full-tilt to try another way and landed on a 5pt ball, causing it to explode underneath us and send us on our side. Ever since then we have nicknamed them "land mines" since they explode underneath your robot. Needless to say, when we got back from Washington the first thing on our lists to fix was an "anti-land mine" device.
