Contrived bivalve burrowing
Channel: Juan Pablo Carbajal
Date: 29/11/2012

Experimental procedure to acquire burrowing data.
1. The surface of the sediment is prepared (better would be to homogenize the whole sediment substrate, but it was not possible under our working constraints)
2. The shell is leveled with the sediment, this represent depth 0.
3. The linear motors pull sequentially (look publications for control details).
4. Burrowing reaches its maximum depth. The motors are switched off and the shell pulled out of the sediment.
