Do you need/intend to use g-code at all for this installation?

If not, it is probably a good candidate for a "hal-only" configuration.
Stepgens, limit2 or limit3 blocks, muxes, integrators, etc, can be used
to do just about anything you can imagine.  PyVCP can be used for
on-screen controls, and joysticks, buttons or other devices for external
controls.

As an example: http://www.teslaorchestra.com/claw-game.html

I have a few custom HAL components that I could share if useful.
For example, one lets you switch from manually controlling each 
motor (for "homing") to coordinated control.
