Problem with that is you would have to have some sort of radio transmitter device on the Tetra (or some other such device to broadcast "I'm here!"). I know for a fact that the Tetras are going to see some heavy abuse; much more than the balls did last year. It probably wouldn't bode well for a transmitter to undergo a lot of shaking and movement. Likewise, it would be much more expensive.
