LOL, It still needs a lot of tuning if it's going to wait tables. It oscillates quite a bit as is, especially going downward when gravity makes the arm go faster than it wants to. We're probably going to have to split the code into two cases: one for up and one for down.
I got a lot of help from members of the CD forum, particularly Chris Hibbner and Mike Betts. Their tips helped me figure out why the original code was acting strangely and make it much better. Check this thread:

As far was we can tell, we are about 15-20 lbs. under without our end-effector, which shouldn't weigh more than 5 lbs, so we shouldn't need any speed holes.
