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
I think we have a 30 degree angle in Conall Kingshott ‘s geometry sketch, if you can CAD the bucket and make an assembly with main and the bucket so we can see how this fits, I think that would be helpful in determining the angle we should use

Notes:
Pump does not have to be at the center (this helps with square bracing)
Use CF tubes for bracing
Copy old pegasus leg joint for anti-tipping bars
Keep everything parametric still
Use Conall’s method for tipping bar length
