If you had done a simple search, you would have found this thread.

Or just looked, it is still on the portal, ~10 threads down.
Or read the manual, it would have told you 7" diameter.

Re: Foam ball size
Confirming, yes it is 7'' diameter.

Our team wanted to buy more balls, seeing as the kit only comes with 1 and we want to be able to load more than that into our robot. We did some research and found balls for 8.99$ a piece. Anyone know of a cheaper price?

Thanks
