Regarding precision of movement, why not keep your rotation sensors, but add a • touch sensor to each
arm for calibration only?

Thanks for the suggestion.  This also would make the initial setup much less
clunky (at the moment you have to manually set the LEFT and RIGHT grabbers to
horizontal).  The main problems are the location of the 16t that takes power
from the chain drive and the position of the rotation sensor.  Both these
elements stick up and catch (almost) anything sticking out from the open ends
of the Large Technic Turntable.  Maybe there's a way to put a knob on the end
of an axle sticking out of the middle hole of the walled side of the LTT.  I'll
give it a try over the weekend.

Cheers

JP
