As we originally defined a GBC it used soccer balls (at the time, Zamors hadn't yet even come out), so most GBC-standard modules not only use but take advantage of the fact that a LEGO soccer ball fits very (...)

I'm guessing that some would take the smaller balls just fine and could slip right into a regulation GBC, but others would find that their (...) (18 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)
