I was talking to someone from 573 in the pits at GLR about this. Using sensors (potentiometers) they limited the arm position in software to make sure they would not exceed the 72" x 72" box. It's a nice machine, I'm glad they got the win there. I love the gripper too, there's no way the tubes are going to get knocked out!
