So, specifying which kind of Zeecraft has this issue and how to solve it might be more productive. For example, VCU owns one Zeecraft and instead of using the "briefcase" we put it into one of the off-the-shelf Solo catalog cases that NED sells for their buzzers, which seems to protect the components better and provide enough space to repack it without extraordinary effort. I think similar information could be provided regarding all of the systems listed here. The end goal of the article should be giving clubs confidence to buy, maintain, and repair buzzers rather than be afraid of doing so and have tournaments short of buzzers as a result.
