<p>I believe a lower speed ball would not improve passing.<br>
<br>
The current problem is that robots are too fast and has unlimited energy. And they are too clumsy in term of ball handling. So passing takes a longer time compared to blocking a ball as the receiving robot takes a while to get control of the ball and change direction, compared to the defending robot, which are capable of accelerating to a postion at very high speed.<br>
<br>
We need slower robot, or more dexterous robot (able to dribble faster and more skillfully) or bigger field.<br>

Do you think that with a different ball (heavier and/or softer) we would<br>
be able to lower kick speed further and force passing and coordination?<br>
