Ordering Trackballs & IR boards

[Gary Dillard]

Hopefully you've seen update #2 about ordering the balls.

I just spoke with Joel at Sportogo; He said they just came to agreement with FIRST a couple hours ago on how to handle orders. They will have a category on the left side of their home page that says FIRST trackballs or something to that effect by this weekend so you can order online or over the phone.

That's nice that they're trying to make it easy on us, but how long will it take for them to sell out? My guess is only a day or two after rearranging their site.

We had a nice gash cut into ours after it bounced off the over-head ladder and then landed on a corner of our 2005 robots shoulder. I didn't want to wait for FIRST so I purchased two 40" bladders for a similar looking item on the Oriental Trader website. They'll be in on Monday and I will post back here as to how similar they are to size and weight. $19.50 plus shipping

My guess is that you'll (1) order one quickly enough (if you need one) or (2) you don't.

In which case, (1) you'll get one or (2) you won't.
