I assume what you are recording (and playing back) is just a time-based profile of the the driver inputs?

The advantage to what Chris is describing is that -- assuming you have the necessary sensors installed and control loops coded -- you can quickly type up a script that says for example "go forward exactly 15 feet; slide to the left exactly 39 inches; raise the elevator to the 55 inch position; position the arm at 63 degrees" etc etc.
