Does anyone out there know how the shuttle arm works?  I am thinking
specifically of the joint motions and any problems with oscillation
if the arm is somewhat flexible.  How accurately can the end of the arm
be manipulated?   Are there any sort of correction mechanisms if such
inaccuracy does exist?  Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
