Crushing Balls?

So if our robot desgine might cause damage to the moon rocks, does anyone think that we should be bringing extra orbit balls just incase?

Teams don't provide the orbit balls. FIRST does.

If your design might cause damage, the question is, in what way? ANY design might cause damage (see my previous post for an example of how), but if there's something in particular about your design, you might consider redesigning that piece, if possible.
