Enevitable- Trackball popped

We may be the first team to put a hole in our trackball!...

We puncured a hole in the trackball while tossing it around so I was wondering if you have any suggestions for ways to patch it up. The material is different than a typical inflatable item so I was wondering if there's a special patch kit to use...

Thanks,

Alex

Re: Enevitable- Trackball popped

Did you hit anything with the ball, because if it just popped because you were throwing it around I am nervous about how many balls will be popped mid game this year.

Re: Enevitable- Trackball popped

I guess duct tape is a nice temporary fix. I would try some sort of normal patch kit and maybe gorrilla glue?

sorry not much help, vivek

Re: Enevitable- Trackball popped

one already? wow, i hope these balls aren't too easy to pop.

duct tape? fix-a-flat? hot glue? you might want to try multiple products. this is the best i found.

Re: Enevitable- Trackball popped

Hey! I'm really sorry you popped your ball. D=

My team's in NC too, so if there's anything we can do (besides buying you a new one xD), let me know. =]

BTW, one of our mentors said you could try a raft repair kit or something similar. I think the best thing would be is to buy a new one.

Re: Enevitable- Trackball popped

When we filled ours up, it came with a leak (go figure ) and popped shortly after that ... no chance of fixing it, it's popped good

Ah well, at least you're not the only ones

Re: Enevitable- Trackball popped

we used fix-a-flat on tubes last year

we popped an atlas ball mid-game in vex last year...i was wondering how long it would take....*sigh* maybe next year we will have non-pop-able game pieces.
