Re: Arm goes down too fast?

Add more surgical tubing -- lots more. The arm isn't neutrally balanced yet. This is one way to make it much more controllable.

It is easier to use software to limit the upward speed than the downward speed. Something about gravity... Use surgical tubing to take gravity out of the equation.
