#OpenTrons Protocol Datastructure ALPHA ###(SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
The OT.One runs jobs based on a JSON datastructure. This "low-level" definiton provides volume, container, and location specific information, describing protocols at the liquid transfer level (as opposed to Barista's higher level description).
It is based loosely on [Transcriptic's Autoprotocol] (https://www.transcriptic.com/platform/#instructions). We modified it to suit platforms beyond Transcriptic's robotic work cells, parsing out the platform specific information into a separate file with information particular to the OT platform. This should empower biodevelopers to easily develop and test protocols on their local machine, and then quickly scale them to "the cloud."
