Maybe the deep water fish means we aren't allowed to touch the floor.
The fish are not specific to Australia. We catch them here in Los Angeles AT 34 deg. N. Lat.

This years kit of parts has a camera and the user station has the ability to attach a display for real time video. I think the game will require a gripper arm with camera to SCALE a wall and pick up 1 of FOUR COLOR Discs. Andy Mark is also now making larger wheels which would help cross a surface like the MOON(fish).
