As far as the exact path forward on that particular issue, I think I need a bit of time to think about it because it’s not immediately clear to me. Hoping to talk to some combination of Alison Thompson Smile Khatri and Evan Janakievski at the work session this weekend to figure out a path forward.

This looks great so far! I agree with everything Conall said above so I’m not gonna focus on that stuff here. From my quick review + some bay convos during work session:
I think we will want two configurations of the bracing since we are moving forward with designing 2 solutions for the payload and each will be different
For the cone version, bracing should be at a height specified by Conall’s cone design to mount the fixed part high enough
For the pump design we are thinking of mounting the submersible pump on the brace, with the brace on the bottom like you have and the tank mounted to the arms within the CF plate perimeter (this shouldn’t interfere with what you are doing
we will probably want a more circular or square design for the brace in order to allow us to dump the water without loads of deflection when the water hits the brace
