Using fixed tips on Evo

General
1

We have a Tecan Evo with fixed tips. How do i specify that it is fixed tips i have on my robot?

I can see there is a function named standard_fixed_tip in
pylabrobot/resurces/tecan/tip_creators.py

wilson used

from pylabrobot.resources.tecan.tip_creators import standard_fixed_tip
lh.head[0]._tip = standard_fixed_tip()

# in loop
for i in range(lh.backend.num_channels):
  lh.head[i]._tip = standard_fixed_tip()

to set the tip state on the head manually. definitely not the prettiest API, but best for now. perhaps we should have a constructor method for the evo that creates the liquid handler, applies this, and returns a LiquidHandler object.
