Thanks Mark - those are nice designs. In my case I needed the precision, but I
also needed a very compact implementation *and* it had to mount to an NXT motor:

I'm pretty happy with the design, but the slop really needed to be compensated
for in either "over-throwing" the position or by having the program adjust the
limits based on the current position as well as the goal position (I'm using it
to throw a very small sliding switch on the back of a camera):

Agreed. But only if you have them :). I wish I could have used the 8t gear in
place of the half-bushings, but there wasn't enough clearance between the
mechanism and the camera body.
