tractorBeamfunction
The pieces of the beam. A carry is a cone of 24 faces, narrow at the drone and wide at the part. Attach and release add a flash at the part. While the part settles the cone runs to where the part is between its start and the slot, and it is gone once the part is home. Reduced motion draws a dotted line and no flash.
