Re: What does your team use to make the clovers for tetras?

We also did ours out of vinyl siding but we didn't have enough so we used the linoleum flooring stuff, works very well and is easy to manipulate

So far the linoleum has held up and hasn't broke. the vinyl siding we were using did break even though we used about 3 layers of the stuff.

We wasted money and bought the ones from IF, And we managed to break 5/6 tetra's the night we made them. Thanks for all the idea's, I dont think we want to buy any more of them

Our team uses only the most cutting edge technology in it's tetras. Mainly bolts and glue. It works surprisingly well.

We used the flanging that plumbers use to hang pipes from ceilings, I don't know what you would call it, but here's a link:

I posted some pictures in there.

Re: What does your team use to make the clovers for tetras?

wow, there are a lot of creative ideas for tetra-making. we made clovers out of lexan and aluminum... it it seems like regardless of what they're made out of, they always end up getting broken. i think i've broken two goals, and at least 10 tetras... (well.. i keep breaking the same tetras, even though they fix them differently every time) i think we eventually had to resort to creatively used zip ties once...

i wonder how many tetra casualties there will be at competitions...
