Re: Tetra Manipulators

I've been giving it some pretty heavy thinking(seeing as its the only field element) and i think tetra grabbers are not going to be anything fancy. To lift one all you really need is a swinging pole with maybe a hook on the end and a stopper to stop the tetra from falling too far back down the pole. Thats about as simple as you can get, but even the best shouldn't be too much more complicated. I'm thinking something akin to a fork lift with no powered grabber, just the up and down motion of the fork lift prongs. Anybody any ideas that more clever than that? (not that its particularly clever or anything)
