I don't think we'll see tetras again, at least not in there 2005 version. They were about nine pounds each and posed some serious safety issues when they were accidentally dropped over player stations or on human players. Ever since 2005 FIRST has used balls or light weight objects like inflatables.

That said, 2005 was one of my all time favorite games. The strategy required when deciding where to place tetras late in the match hasn't been matched by any game since. It was truly a nail biter at the end of most matches knowing that the last tetra placed could completely swing the match.

Although, an inflatable tetra would be interesting...
