What we do is
1) Move our bucket to the first position and make a mark on each of the servo holders
2) Move our bucket to the second position and make another mark of a different color on each of the servo holders
3) Take off the bucket and adjust the servos (Numbers in move servo command) until each one goes to the marks when told
4) Put the bucket back on and test. You may have to turn on the robot and run the servos to one position and then attach your bucket to get it lined up. The servos should be nearly silent if the numbers are correct. If there is alot of vibration or they move really jerky try again.
