Re: Functional TRACKBALLS
Today we were testing to see how much the ball bounced and it landed on a piece of cut aluminum pipe and the bladder was punctured causing the entire inner to split in half. (past the point of duct tape repair) Now we're looking for a substitute for the rest of our testing.

Re: Functional TRACKBALLS
One of our 'mentor' alumnis was messing around with our ball, kicked it into the ceiling yesterday, and it sprung a leak. We patched it, and it should be fine, but were not going to test it till tomorrow.

Not so spiffy if you have to replace the ball.

Re: Functional TRACKBALLS
or 20 bucks to just replace the part that popped, the bladder inside the cover should still be usable
