I spent a long time trying to come up with a steering mechanism that takes
up as little space as possible. If anyone has any other ideas, I'd be glad
to hear/see them.

They're not perfect. Micromotors are too slow and weak for much else than
steering and other simple functions, IMO. I even think they are too slow
for spinning the fiberoptic thingie. But they are perfect for steering...
