Re: Tetra Rods Steel, not PVC?

I'd guess that the goal tetras might be made out of steel. It's not unprecedented that we get different field parts from what the final competition field ends up being. The game piece tetras are going to be PVC, though, simply because steel would weigh a ton more, and that's the kind of thing you need to know in designing an arm.
