Looks OK.
Some tips for machinery:
Always set interpolation to linear before animationg any rotation.
For pistons and levers smooth interpolation is OK.
I find it useful to carefully place any layer's origin exactly on its pivot point.

Hi Joppa,
I was unable to view your robot.mov - have Quicktime 7 but I just see black. Is there a special codec?

Yes. And it looks pretty good.
Just wondering, Would it be possible to have an external
data stream control the robot arm?
Can a lua script receive data through an API?
Or is it limited to within the .anme file or an external data file?
