Maybe a program would be handy here to measure some of the error drift due to the tooth gears. For example, with a top view light carefully make a mark on a circle as a starting point, by the gripper. Now have the robot step 360 degrees, and again, and see how far it is off the mark. Have it do this again by making much smaller degree steps, and measuring how the drift adds up again that way, on average.
Maybe -- but a much larger source of error right now is simply the robots' momentum moving them around, since only friction and gravity are holding them in place.
