|||||||
ROPOS is repositioning to pick up the second cap in the 7-function arm at 21:46. Reaching out with the 5-function arm to secure the larval trap 1. 21:48 the 5 has grabbed the larval trap. |
|||||||||
capping larval tube #1 at Mkr-33 |
R556-003 |
||||||||
21:49 7-function arm has put the top on larval trap 1. The cap is crooked. The 7 has grabbed the bottom of the larval trap. |

2207 - ROPOS is repositioning to get near the stack of milk crates. |
|||||||||
The 7-function arm is grabbing the handle on the side of the milk crate stack. 22:09 -moving toward the other set of larval traps. |
|||||||||
ROPOS is setting the stack of milk crates on the bottom near the trap tops at 22:13. ROPOS is on the bottom near the larval traps 22:14. The 7 function is picking up the first trap top. |
|||||||||
Capping larval tube 4. |
R556-008 |
||||||||
Larval trap 4 fallen over. |
R556-009 |
||||||||
Picking up LT4 that had fallen over |
R556-010 |
||||||||
ROPOS is using the 7 to cap the larval tube #4 at 22:16. Top does not appear to be completely capped. ROPOS is repositioning to get closer to trap 4, which tipped over and is lying on the bottom. |
R556-LT-0004 |
Metaxas |
|||||||
ROPOS is repositioning to allow the use of the 5-function arm at 22:22. The 7 function has picked up the trap and is transferring it to the 5 at 22:25, trap slipped down. 7 function is attempting to hammer the cap tighter. pushed it in and the trap fell |
|||||||||
ROPOS is positioning the 5 function to secure the larval trap #3. Can't reach the trap so the 7 function is picking up the trap and passing it to the 5. The 7 is picking up the top by the baseball and lifting it to the trap at 22:29. |

R556-012 |
||||||||
22:33 - ROPOS is repositioning to the milk crate stack. A crab is attacking the larval traps in the milk crates. ROPOS has set down on the bottom. The crab is being encouraged to leave. |
|||||||||
22:35 - larval trap 4 has been place in the crates. The 7 function is attempting to grab the remaining trap (3) at 22:37. Grab complete. The 7 is placing the trap in the crate at 22:37. |
|||||||||
The crab is returning. ROPOS is turning the crates around to get a grip on the lid in order to close the top on the crates. 22:39 the 5 function is retracting. |
|||||||||
ROPOS is using the 5 function to grab the port handle. 22:45 using the 7 function to close the top of the crates and attempting to secure the top. 22:46 top of crates is secure. |
|||||||||
Leaving the milk crate stack in place. 22:48 ROPOS is securing the 5 function. |
|||||||||
ROPOS is moving back to Mkr-33, leaving the crates. |
|||||||||
ROPOS is approaching Mkr-3 and going past marker. |
|||||||||
suctioned the rest of the first sample into jar 7 |
|||||||||
Next suction sample is fooling around MTR 3300. It might get jossled. |
|||||||||
