That's a lot of degrees of freedom on that arm. I certainly hope you guys have a good program and OI.

Ours is roughly equivalent (turret, extension, arm, wrist) and its actually not that bad even when completely under human control. (Mind you, ours is running at half speed) The key appears to all in how you think about it. If you think about it as a turreted, double jointed, telescoping arm, then its rather tough to control, but if you think of it as a single jointed arm which can be repositioned relative to the robot vertically and horizontally, and use the wrist for final scoring, it appears to help.
