Well, sort of. I don't believe that the Jade Mountain / Zomeworks people
are particularly concerned about how the tracker is guided. I believe they
are much more concerned with the mechanics and HEAVY DUTY MOTORs (not
likely to be efficient, probably take multiple amps). Also, the bicore
head produces far too much "hunting" to really be very efficient -- someone
ought to try building one with a scanning cycle that damps out when the
difference between the two sensors is below some threshold.
