And because the mechanical guys can't get it through their head that the robot itself is part of the servo feedback.

It has to be a software problem. Hehehe...

Just kidding (mostly) - I appreciate those mechanical guys!
Just have the electrical guys put together all the stuff before mechanical so programmers can test on it
