My mistake, I thought you said 17 inches (obviously) sorry..

We tried this once with our robot as well.

Without going through all the details of the experiment, I will pass along our conclusions:

Robots do not bounce as well as the balls.

Please do not try this (awesome) experiment at your hotels this season with very large open atrium areas.

Thank you.

Air resistance would become too big of a factor to get good results anyways.

Wayne, you better be more kind to that ball. With all the rain you guys are getting you may need it as a life saving device!

How high would it bounce if you dropped it off of the Empire State Building?
Has anyone tried that yet?
