Re: Durability of tetras

i cant even tell you how many tetras we've broken in practice. while switching out different drivers, i think i might have racked up the most tetra casualties ^^; we've made clovers out of lexan and aluminum, and they still come apart at the bolts or rip in the center section of the clover. its has nothing to do with how we perform, its just the wear and tear of constant handling. we had a PVC goal just collapse on us just because of the wind.

-shrugs- i guess thats life... and the drivers will just have to be a little careful, because i dont think that they'll start a match over just because the tetra you are handling decided to collapse right as you were about to cap. sure that can directly affect the outcome of the game... but if it happens often, there may not be anything anyone can do about it and you'll just have to deal with it.

best of luck everyone... i'm praying competition tetras hold up well.
