Soda Straws

Post by reaper20 »

Sorry, I don't know how to post the picture correctly, but, I think I found a better reflector: Soda straws, the kind that bend.
Cut out the crinkled section, cover it with reflective material (you can shape the tube a little here to curve it), slit it, and tape the shiny tube over the standard reflectors. The tubes seem to maintain the correct size and shape better in the tracking window. I haven't had too much time to test, but so far it's the best solution I've found to tracking woes.
It's an easy fix to try, Let me know what you guys think.

Great idea.

Do they bend to follow the curve of the original reflector?
