Re: Taking Home Tetras
i thought in 2003 you could take the bins, and last year i know they gave out the popped balls unless the people at the places i went to were just nice and didnt listen to FIRST and 56 accually was able to get a kick ball at nats but it may have been because it ended up stuck in our chain and we had to take it to the pits to get out.

Re: Taking Home Tetras
All I know is that me and a couple guys from other teams played poker and used broken clovers from the practice field as chips... not that anyone went home with said broken clovers...

Ya, know, if you really want one, just paint a practice tetra with red or blue paint. It'll look the same, and won't be a hassle to get.

I helped clean up and tear down archimedes and newton during the award ceremony and the guy overseeing said to make sure the tetras get packed away with the field and dont take them.

Nope. They're all repaired. A leg would go in the trash if it was cracked in half, or the nut inside stripped.

Otherwise, all the legs are reused.

Re: Taking Home Tetras
Isn't each tetra something like more then 15 bucks with the 4 clovers and PVC combined? That's some pretty expensive stuff for robots to be breaking so easily.

FIRST has specific instruction that the tetras are part of the field and do not go home with people. Taking a tetra without proper authorization is the same as stealing.
why doesn't anyone read what a guy who knows the answer says?

Dez was there

We have our own tetras and found that a good way to weigh them down is to get some lengths of copper pipe inside some thin walled pipe for the tetras and it is reasonably accurate. now just paint

Re: Taking Home Tetras
what would you do with it? i mean i understand floppies from a while ago, we have some here that serve as bed pillows, the black, yellow, and purple balls from last year and 00', and the soccerballs, and the crates (great for storage, they stack nicely), but tetras? what do you plan to do with those?

Talking Re: Taking Home Tetras
Sorry everyone let me clarify. I have a broken tetra because I completely put one together from pieces that were already thrown in the garbage. That's how I made a complete "broken" tetra". I just wanted to clarify it lol.

What if they were taken at the end of an off-season event? I can't imagine where the fields would go after the season of off-season events.
