[DanaRocks]

our red ball did not seem to fill up as much as that blue ball

is any other teams having this problem???

[Rysonue]

I wonder how many teams had that idea. Even more scary is I bet everyone had that idea at the same time.
I had the unfortunate pleasure of being my team's Atlas. Man that pose hurt.

lol...unfortunattly i wont see our balls till monday......then i could do the pose.......alright if i steal it?????

[MrForbes]

I was wondering why we got our son an air compressor for Christmas...now I know!

[fabalafae]

I don't really know how our ball looks when it's completely inflated...we couldn't fill it up entirely because it wouldn't have fit through the door -.-

[basicxman]

ive seen austin powers goldmember too much for that to look good

[VanMan]

We had students with hot air fill it up. The last bit was with a compressor though cuz its tough.

I couldn't hold that pose for more than 7 seconds before it slipped on me!

[SSMike]

I did that too, but it wasn't long before someone came up and tried to "knock the world off my shoulders."

Cool shot! Someone on my team got a similar picture today during our work session, and made a comment about shrugging just before the ball fell.

For a photo break, we went outside for a while. Cloudy and about 70 degrees here in St. Louis, with south winds at about 20 MPH. We found that our trackball can be shoved through a standard 3 ft. doorway when inflated to 128" circumference. However, when a gust of wind came along, it suddenly developed a lot of lift and one of our mentors had to yell for help to keep it from being ripped from his grasp.

Manipulating these gamepieces will be a challenge.

I think this is the understatement of the year.
