I know that serious people love servos, and I've seen screaming
machines at Westec. But I wanted to do this all myself and I'm not
eager to get into the complexity (and additional cost) necessitated
by servo systems. I'm not making production parts for hire, so I
don't really need to step up another level. I'll be content to
optimize my current design for now.
