Re: pic: Homemade Orbit Ball! (White Paper Coming Soon)
FIRST is selling the game pieces for $10 a piece. You have to fill out this application process to get them.
How much does the replication ball weigh in comparison to the actual one? I see this difference being very crucial in calculations. Our team managed to find 17 balls (the afternoon of Kick-off and Sunday), so I'll try to get a chance to find the range of deviation and the distribution of deviation of the ball's weight to see if it will affect results. If Blip has discontinued this product, how would they make money off of the design anymore? Simply by filing suits against students of a non-profit? I think it's pretty obvious they would lose, and so they'd have to foot the cost of a lawyer and actually lose money, so I'm pretty sure we'll be okay.
