Downsides.... Hmm... they do take work to tune....

success: Arms that would have been nearly impossible to manually control are quickly and precisely control. Another feature you get almost for free is the ability to go to "preset" positions - the arm position to pickup, score high, etc... - quickly and accurately.

If you get the control on there, I don't think you'll regret it.
