Sounds like something a human player could do?


Magnet idea aside, snaging (hurdling, a snag is a hurdle) fish (tetra) could be released mechanically. Usually when one goes fishing, they are blindly looking for fish. Could the fish be in a big pond (obviously dry) in the middle of the field with raised platforms around it? That would mean that we would have to pick up something lower than the base of the robot, which I believe has never been done before and catching the fish would be random.
