Go to Post Just take a chance. Dream and live. It's not a wild decision, but just ask yourself - if I got my team just a little bit more spending money, where would my team be then? Then, change that dream into a reality. Help your team sustain itself to inspire more kids. - CalTran [more]

Re: Orbit balls breaking

I managed to find seven, broken or not, at local Walmarts. Some were fully reparable because it was just an undone 'snap'-type connection. Others are broken in the middle of bands (or elsewhere not at the joints).

We are planning to build our robot with the expectations that balls will both figuratively 'break' (that is, come unsnapped) and actually break during competition, and that these in general will not be repaired.
