Hi @lcabannes,

I knew some region use Lego ball.
They use it as living victim with aluminum foil.
And they use it as dead victim painting with black color.
If you donā€™t have such balls,
We didnā€™t select a specific store.
However, you can find these on Amazon in your region.
ā€˜stainless ball 5cmā€™ Living victim
'wooden ball 5cm ā€™ Dead victim

Of cause, you can use plastic balls, or other material balls.

Just a side note on this matter.

The mass of the ball is not stated explicitly (so different competition organisers can adjust accordingly), so it would be a good idea to expect some variation in mass depending on the competition. Of course this will be within a ā€œsensibleā€ range, but the point is the robot shouldnā€™t be limited to a specific mass! - maybe something to consider as some mechanics can be sensitive to the mass.
