Important

Leftmost panel is not used, so there are 11 panels in total. When making patterns, the image will start being presented from pixel 17. Pixels 1-16 represent the missing panel.

Note

The arena can be tilted in elevation depending on how the fly is positioned in the rig. Make sure to keep a note of the angle of the arena.
