Re: Trackball inflation

Last year, it was written in the manual what approximate inflation was, but even at regionals, tubes were under and over inflated. When you're in a rush to reset and you need tubes (or balls, or anything else that's inflated), you don't always have the time to check for perfection.

Tubes that started filled and had small holes/leaks, were underinflated by the time many teams went to pick them up anyway. Expect a few completely deflated balls too, with some very large holes.

Balls/tubes actually are refilled during a competition. Usually the day before everything is inflated, and then as things get really underinflated they're replaced with new game objects, refilled, and used again later.
