Yeah exactly. I guess one of our team members read somewhere on CD about harpoon gun tubing so now one of our mentors plans to get us a few different diameters of the stuff so we can figure out what works best. There are a lot of stretchy materials to use, and surgical tubing is probably not the ideal material.
