Re: Taking Home Tetras
 

thats a good question, where will they keep them after noone's using them?

Re: Taking Home Tetras
 

I asked one of the field attendants when they were packing up if I could have a spare tetra. I had gotten a box from stack attack like this but that year they had a bazillion boxes after there was such a big scare that they would all break. The field attendant told me that the tetras were going with the field to be used at offseason competitons and can be rented from FIRST. So no getting tetras this year... but now that you know what they look like exactly, you can just spray paint your own. :)

Re: Taking Home Tetras
 

Just curious but when all is said and done (lets say kick off next year) What does FIRST do with all the field elements, Do they all sit in storage, are they sold, or do they get recycled some how?

Re: Taking Home Tetras
 

At FLR I took one caus one of the field attendents said I could have one. Then when i was half way out with tetra over arm a guy from FIRST ran over and took it back:( He said they had to go to the Florida Regional
So im not the only one that wanted the tetras.....:)

i took home a bin from the 2003 nat champ. used it as luggage on the way home.

Re: Taking Home Tetras
 

I have an element from every year...soccer ball from 02, bin from 03, 10 pt ball from 04...so of course i needed a tetra....

The one i got was laying next to the practice field (or what was left of the practice fields after closing ceremonies) I asked the lady that was standing around all the stuff and she said that it was un-repairable and she said i could grab it. A couple of zip ties later, its as good as new, kinda....so yea thats how i got my tetra

Re: Taking Home Tetras
 

when the First field staff disassembled the field at the Israeli regional they gave away the tetra's. i guess they didn't wanna ship them back all they way from Israel.

so we got four tetras ,two blue ones and two red ones.
but we accidentally broke a red one . :ahh:

i think all the teams from Israel got a few tetras home.
