Re: Competition Orbit Balls

I was at NJ too and on Thursday and Friday I didn't see many broken balls. I load our robot every match with 7 and I think I saw one ball the entire weekend that had been repaired. (IIRC it had tape over the seam).

Really, I think the orbit balls are holding up way better than most people thought. There's so many on the field that the abuse is spread out (most teams practiced with <5 balls) and also the Human Players aren't abusing them as much either.
