Durability of Vision Target

We accidentally left our vision target on for about 6 hours today, and we also accidentally hit it with a launched poof ball a few days ago. Soon enough today, we realized that the cathodes in the box weren't aligned in parallel anymore.

Well, we got it down, and we discovered that the heat from leaving it on so long combined possibly with the shock that it sustained a while back has caused some of the ahesive to... become somewhat melted. So, I was there trying to realign a bunch of hot cold cathodes that had their ends covered in molten adhesive.

Anyone else had this problem yet? And what's this situation going to be like when the competitions roll around?
