 I think rovers on Mars are way cool but you won't get a crowd of enthusiastic participants cheering as they trudge 150 meters a day. - Andrew Schuetze [more] |

Tetra Loading Station
The drawing for the Tetra Loading Station appears to show the side supports at 30 inches apart - if this were so, wouldn't the tetras fall through ...
The pretty pictures in the Comp Manual show a tube structure instead, which is definitely narrower than the tetra sitting on it ! |

Re: Tetra Loading Station
Remember that the PVC pipes are 30" long. When you add the clovers, each tetra will be a few inches longer then 30" and so should be able to be supported by a structure 30" wide.
It should also be noted that the pretty pictures in the manual are just that, pretty pictures. The figure on page 8 of the Game section has already been shown to be wrong. |

Re: Tetra Loading Station
At Manchester the supports for the tetra were ~13" apart (inside to inside) and 1.5" wide. I posted a photo in the gallery.
