<Unrelated Advice> Playing volleyball with trackballs can be painful</Unrelated>

Change 2008's robots to play volleyball with trackballs would be interesting, I would say only shooters would really be able to do it. The real issue is tracking the balls, I don't think that our current hardware can do this in real time, perhaps instead of volleying we make the robots hit a target with the large balls OVER a net, similar concept to volleyball but eliminates the need for vision processing of a moving object in 3-d
