If you can find a walmart that still has orbit balls then you're clearly not recruiting hard enough

I doubt many teams have a stockpile of polycarbonate. Where did you get yours from? Do you have the size dimensions etc please? Part of my original post is also on the time spent on having to try and find the field, make the orbit balls. This takes away from actual robot design / construction. Then in the 2009 case if the practice field you have isn't exactly right, when your drivers get to regionals they will have to learn to drive all over again. Depending on the difference of the coeffecient of friction. See you at the next Vex comp. |

Re: Source for Orbit Ball
Well after 3 hours of searching I've come up with 13 balls, 8 Moon Rocks, 3 Empty Cells, and 2 Super Cells.
Being in Tallahassee I was able to search 4 walmarts without worrying about other teams scarfing them up since the nearest team is 2 hours away. I went to a Target, K-Mart, and Toys-R-Us and got none... I shall mail them to my team tomorrow. We're probabilly all driving Walmart crazy because they are going to think these are a hot selling item and stock up on them and once build is over nobody will want these things. ![]() |

Re: Source for Orbit Ball
Does anyone know the name of the fabric that is used in the Orbit Ball?

Re: Source for Orbit Ball
Yes, but even then they somtimes used fittings etc. that were not always available west of the Mississippi. I remember searching all over LA for a certain pipe fitting back in 2002.
