Re: Help with CIM motor locking system?

they could be using sensors to read the arm's angle. You just have to apply a small portion of the available power using motor controllers (Talons, victors, sparks, etc.) to overcome gravity and keep it at the right angle.

I recommend you read about sensors and motion control for your personal knowledge
