It was a project for work... The clutch engages/disengages the motor, and it is a standard brushed DC motor. Basically, you engage the clutch, and run the motor till you get to where you want. You would need a full H-Bridge circuit to drive the motor so you can go forward/reverse. If the clutch is disengaged the arm returns to "zero". There is some pretty hefty gearing for the motor. With the standard length arm, I could not get the arm to move by hand (this was with our controller actively maintaining position). There is a POT for feedback of where the arm is. You can get the pinouts and a basic schematic for the controller by looking in the MB FSM.
