This may be best for wish list category but was wondering if there is a hardware or software solution for being able to move the arm once a program stops for whatever reason and the arm is too high to resume. We always bring the arm down and end of routine and always send it down at beginning, but we avoid keeping that arm down at beginning for more than a few seconds to avoid what I think it not good for the motor to be pressing down on the stop bar we have in place to prevent damage to processor. We have a block routine that does nothing but drop the arm that I can run instead of the primary routine especially when you’re in middle of a competition.

I meant to say that substituting for a routine that only lowers the arm is not ideal during a competition. Also in the past I have used a tilt switch to monitor for the arm being in the wrong position. I’m sure the Ultimate gryo could handle this but I haven’t gotten that far in using it.

I can’t really help you with that. It should be the belt, you may have to tighten that, but otherwise, I do not know.
