Trackballs

[Vashts6583]

regarding size and weight, does anyone know if they're similar to the large yellow balls used in either the 2003 or 2004 competition?

Just a heads up. We get a trackball in the KOP. Has any one found where to get more yet?

they are strikingly similar to the 2004 yellow balls... but i think that those were slightly smaller in diameter, but im not certain

the ball included in the kit is a 40" excersise/yoga ball with a separate cloth cover.

what kind of needle is needed to inflate the ball included in the KoP???

As of right now Logo Loc the company that had the Rack N Roll tubes last year has nothing on their site about Track Balls but if I remember right they didn't have anything up last year until the work week had started. Check back in the next week or so and they may... Also things have been put out by IFI in the past although they may not be this year.

If at the beggining of the match during the hybrid period, you knock down a ball of the opposing alliance, who recieves the points?

this might not be stander balls that you can get in the store. It was a blatter inside and a canvas skin on the outside.

They don't fit through standard doorways...

Great move on FIRST/GDC's part...

Anybody know how to inflate the ball?

[MachineMan]

The instructions for inflation are at the bottom of Section 10 Kit of Parts of the manual.

Ya the rules stated that the balls would weigh approximately 10 pounds so it really all just depends on how much you fill the ball obviously.

I'm guessing that the weight difference between inflated and not is pretty much negligible.
