Eventually you will want to do argument checking.

for example, setArm should check that the input argument vector is of the same length as the number of alphaIds. otherwise the loop will fail.

also, setJoint should check that the joint ids lie in the proper range, from 1 to the length of alphaIds. You can either ignore the entire command if there is a bad joint ids number or you can remove the violators (and their commanded values), then execute the command.

in general it is good to think about the ways that someone can incorrectly invoke a function, then try to put simple checks to prevent errors from happening.

Get rid of the extra quotation marks.

Don't forget to put the ticks interpolation loop into the constructor. That way the interpolation functions don't get recreated each time that you call setArm or setJoint. It is kind of wasteful that way.

read input digital lines 1 and 2.
output the result to digital output lines 1 and 2.

do this in a loop until 15 seconds have passed.
will require reading the time.

create a reset function to recover from hangups.

robotArm should have a set joint function.

setJoint( alphaId, alphaAngle);

write the testPanTilt01 script.

it should just be robotArm and not robotArmClass
