Ball Damage

[Rombus]

im wondering if there going to keep vacuming the field after every 10 or so matches. All the junk comming off these balls might make some interesting field conditions!

What about balls that get gashes or holes that might be still be playable. would anyone think that the balls should be allowed to still be used with some chunks taken out or gashes in them?

that would be cool i have a shot of our robot destroying one of the plastic Tupperware Containers used in stack attack.

My team also noticed this problem and changed our launching mechanism. Videos of our new and improved prototype shooter can be found at. We test fired the new launching mechanism heavily and did not notice wear as much on the balls with specially fitted wheels. http://robotics.hhs.fuhsd.org/downloads/Ballshooter.avi and http://robotics.hhs.fuhsd.org/downlo...llshooter2.avi --3mb symmetrical connection
