[robocup-humanoid] Clarification requested on the KidSize 10cm Ball

[Sean Luke]

Franklin Balls are very soft massage balls for yoga and pilates.  We had assumed they'd be much too soft too be good choices.  We've been struggling to find any medium-hardness 9-11cm balls, and the closest we could find were some play balls for dogs:

- Jolly Pets Push-N-Play 4.5 inch (hard plastic but not available in orange)

- Jolly Pets Bounce-N-Play 4.5 inch (orange but soft and bouncy.  Plus smells like vanilla!)
  http://www.amazon.com/Jolly-Bounce-n-Play-Vanilla-Scented-Vibrant/dp/B0006G56X4

- Plastic training softballs (perforated -- will be fun for cameras :-)

- various soft and spikey massage and sensory balls

... and that's it.
