Lightbulb Mini-Me robot arm controller

I am still working ideas for the pre-season workshops we hold for our team. I appretiate the replies to date about my previous posting on human arm based controllers.

I have seen more examples of control systems with a mini-me controller for their robot arm as compared to the two or three human interfaces. I was quite impressed with an example where the controller mimiced completely the look of the robot. Team 1100

See this thread for RadioShack awards.

Question:
I assume that pots are on both the robot and the controller. If you had a mini-me controller, did you use a PID control to move the arm or did you use a set rate of rotation / motor speed?

Query:
I would like to see pictures and talk with more teams who used such a control system. email or p.m.

Thanks,


APS
