 -01-27 - around 2026-01-21 Y-axis motor started loosing steps when traveling above first shelf. Turns out a counterbalance line slipped off counterbalance pulley, rubbing over its axle. Steel line is supposed to be encased in rubber - but it's has worn off ~50% off its length. Should probably be replaced at some point.
--01-27 - "XOffset/YOffset output" parameter changed from +3/+0 to -10/+5 and now vends succeed on first try!
+-01-27 - "XOffset/YOffset output" parameter in Robimator → Configure (remember to "Transmit List"!) changed from +3/+0 to -12/+7 and now vends succeed on first try!
+-04-16 - as has been fortold in January: the counterbalance line's finally given up. It broke. It's been replaced with a line without rubber encasing, so it should be considered a temporary measure.  Old counterbalance line: 0,8 mm, about 1050 mm length (hard to measure, the line was in two parts) New counterbalance line: 1,0 mm, about 1050 mm length. At the ends an electrical bitsy-bit's been used, as in the picture.
+Markings on the bitsy-bit: [5,5 - 6 / 12 10], encased in yellow rubber. The rubber's been removed before installation at the end of the line.

+It's been also noted that the basket arm is wonky - the lift arm with the basket is not vertical, because one of the supporting elements snapped and needs re-welding (marked red below).
