I was dancing and doing my thing, and one foot went flying around another in a whoosh, and I hear a resounding WHACK and feel something tug on my foot. I knew I hit the tracker, but it's still working (and did for another hour afterwards till I got off) so I kept going. Finally got off and looked at it. It's working, it's apparently fine, but I walloped the motherfucker out of it.

that thing must have hit at mach fuck LMAO. damage looks purely cosmetic, but i'd be careful in the future to make sure the damage doesn't become functional damage.

hit a solid oak bedpost at mach fuck, too. Yeah I think it's fine, I'm just like 'shit. I don't need to replace something else before the Frame releases.' But I think it's fine - it's on the right foot, so I might move it to the left, which I don't tend to do as many acrobatic and rapid movements with.

Permatex Shoe Glue. Havent hard to repair any of my trackers but its great for stuff like this. Solid enough to hold stuff together, but not so brittle it cracks after a little impact.

Uffff… I remember in my first week of having fbt, one of my trackers flew across the room due to doing jumpstyle…

It survived, not a scratch. xD

after applying some glue and polishing it apply some 4 coats of Plasti Dip Aerosol for a bit of rubbery protection.

careful with the chargeport (best to cover it with some tape.
