We were allowed to keep this ball after it somehow got caught in our conveyor’s gear train during a match. The missing chunk was ingested by a globe motor and two delrin gears and, mind you, was not easily removed.
This happened just once and the field crew was more amazed than irritated by it. Over the course of the event, we learned that the Poof balls will fit anywhere – even going so far as to squeeze themselves into a 1/4" gap between our conveyor system and a backing plate.
