We filed the opposite side of the block from the magnet slowly and slightly until the black block slid along the inside of the shaft smoothly. Beware not using Hall effect sensors to limit actuator!

We tested the 6" Dart out using code to set our limits, went past the limit, broke the potentiometer, and gave the frame a big ol' inadvertent stress test. The Darts are quite strong. Had to replace the pot. Got it working finally. Very cool when it's functioning.
