Depends on how you count them

The same loop runs on the left and right side of the shooter. They are only coupled in software. The control loop to run the shoulder and shooter angle is a 6 state MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) controller. The intake loop is separate. Then, there is the MIMO drivetrain loop being fed with angles by the camera.

So, yea, 5.

A pair of connected linkages (driven by miniature pistons).
