that would just make it bounce around in random directions not actually make it slow down much

Its crunch time on the ball design - I'm happy to make a few if everyone can agree on the best design. Personally, I like Jake's plastic ball with birdseed (or similar) inside. We also need to decide on the size; probably around the 10cm mark so the taller robots can get at it.

Let me know what you think and I will get some soccer balls made up.

Balls, Balls, Balls! I dunno! I was thinking something around 20cm, easy to see and attack. I`ll see what I can come up with as well and we can test what works and what doesn`t.

Since we still don`t have any goals how about a hanging target with a microswitch behind it? When the ball hits a light will flash. One on each opposing wall. I think all the parts are here, old refbot lights, switches and drill batteries. Then again, I can see torn and ripped off targets and robot head butting targets claiming goals! Will be fun whatever!
