Hehe. :)
But do you think anyone would dare to join
us for a game of soccer with this ball ?

But does it not then cease to be a bucky ball?

It wasn't me that called this a Bucky ball. :-)
I was about to do that. But since I'm
not sure about the exact definition of
a Bucky ball, I did not.
I believe it has something to do with
the C60 molecule.
Any chemistry people out there that knows ?

Pretty sure that's the slang term for it anyhow. Your rendering has the
general shapes needed to be one but there are extra facets also, which is why
I said "enhanced" just to be saying something. I really don't know much about
the chemistry of it, even though I once had a college course and managed an
"A" grade. I'd have to say that this is probably no longer any sort of C

Oops, excuse me, that was a first. Sending a unfinished message reply.
I was about to say:
Your rendering is probably no longer any kind of C60 molecule since there
would be extra atoms in there to explain the further facetting within the
hexagons and pentagons. Not that I really know anything about it.
I most of all liked those distorted pentagons within the hexagons.
