== Real-time Software (hardware control) ==

BarBot's various dispensers will require some level of control. 

=== Moving Platform ===

Although the design of the platform has yet to be prototyped, it is likely it will look something like the sideways axis of a RepRap - motion will be achieved using a stepper motor.  In this case the software control should:

# Be able to move accurately to the correct location for a desired dispenser, i.e. "position 3"
# Accelerate gently to speed
# Decelerate gently to a halt at the correct location

=== Optic dispenser ===
