Hi,

Thanks for the reply we are at the current revision for the robot that
they recommend, we have replaced arms in the past but cannot confirm
or deny whether that has fixed any of the problems.  Normally (again,
normally..) when there are robot arm issues there are reach/put errors
etc, have not seen them in this case..

Justin.
