Re: Ball Return Worries

Good old days? Try aim high, I was a driver and got hit multiple times. That was crazy! I also got smacked with a tetra from the opposing alliance when I put them in the wall. My fault of course, but wow those things are heavy.

I'd take a poof ball traveling at less than 30 ft/s to the head more readily than an 8 lb tetra falling 3-4 feet on my head, any day.

Back on point, ball return peoples need training! Proper training should alleviate most of everyone's worries.

Re: Ball Return Worries

Here's a worry: the ball falling off the ramp. A team at Peachtree knocked the ball onto the field with the trident, and incurred a 22 point penalty!

I'm 6' 2" and coach, so I've stood directly below the rails on multiple matches. But I totally trust our human played, he has never tridented me yet!

Angry Re: Ball Return Worries

i think other then getting hit on the head wit a balls is the field glitching on counting if you return the balls or not. when we plaid at the new orleans regionals we finish the game winning 7-0 but because a small ball counter problem we got 29 penalty points (what i heard that all the human players said they did return all the balls back to the field ) so we ended up tieing the game. so other then wearing a helmet be careful of the balls

But your helmets have horns. What if they puncture the soccer balls and pop 'em like balloons? That would not be good at all.
