What members of team 375 do with their trackballs.

Okay, so we had popped this one a while back during build season, after practicing a lil' bit with our bot :



So. Since I know how to sew, I've decided to make something out of said trackball for the teammate wearing it [Rebecca].
Suggestions?

You'll have a long way to go before you can top Bethany's trackball dress from the Championship. It was a whole dress made of blue trackball material, with appropriately-sized dots scattered on it. Pretty epic.

Ah man. Pretty upset I didn't see that. And don't worry, we have lots of more where that came from! =D Plus a little something extra!

Re: What members of team 375 do with their trackballs.

LOL.

My cousin has something very similar to a trackball (in how it's a bladder inside a protective covering), only it's not as big. I spent a couple of days at his house recently, and apparently, it made a pretty good chair. That's all I have to say.

Re: What members of team 375 do with their trackballs.

Lol. Well, the captain of our team decided to use our trackball as a surfball. like literally stomach to ball and hands in the air along with feet. I know ball-surfing has been introduced in other threads, but what he was doing on the ball was a little different and I only wish I had a picture. Thankfully, he was safe while doing this. Imagine if he fell off onto a screw or something? Ouch Or if the trackball ran over the screw and popped? There's $$$ down the drain.

Thank you for the complement!

Okay so the dots on my dress are real dots from trackballs (from 3 different regionals: Philadelphia, Finger Lakes, and Oklahoma) not just appropriately sized. My mom helped me make it, and it turned out so good that I will be wearing it to my prom. My mom also made a trackball tie for my robo prom date. My corsage and his Boutonnière are also made out of trackball material. I used the ball from FLR for my dress mainly, and Philadelphia for extra material needed.

I just posted a picture of it go check it out
