We experimented in rubber band ball bouncing at the University of
Maryland using one that was about seven inches in diameter.  We dropped
it from the five stories through the middle of a stairwell.  I waited
on the forth floor to recover it on the rebound.  It comes nearly all the
way back to it's starting point and remarkably bounced pretty straight.
Subsequent attempts with multiple bouncing sent it wildly around the stairs
making a lot of noise.
