Vision Tetra Alignment Issues

I have been unable to find anything in the rules that states that the vision tetras will be aligned with the feild in a predefined matter, so we can assume that they could be facing any direction, right? If this is the case, does anyone have any ideas how to align a grabbing mechanism that is dependent on being at a certain angle when grabbing? I was thinking of an algorithm that uses the size of the green blob to determine what angle the tet is relative to the camera...

Too bad it couldn't have been nice and simple, with the bottem bar of the triangular face being parallel with the feild.
