OK, I can see that this script could use some comments. And others too, 
probably. I'll see about improving that. Thanks for the feedback!

By "magic numbers", I assume you mean how I modeled the path of the 
lever handle using y as a quadratic function of x, and the bridgepos 
parameter corresponding to the handle position as another quadratic 
function of x. The coefficients there were obtained by fitting a 
quadratic polynomial to the (approximately measured) "best" handle 
position for each intermediate step.

There are a lot of other magic numbers in the script that just depend on 
where things are located on the panorama.
