We screwed the first hoop because we thought the bender went the other way. Opps, one leg is twice as long as the other.

Seems like we would bang our heads till midnight, get frustrated, give up, and go inside. next morning we would come out and solve the same problem in 10 minutes.

In the end, the onliy tube we "wasted" was the first hoop. Just takes a while to figure out how things work in the real world and what ideas should have stayed just that, ideas.

I think the next one will go much faster.
