System for constructing a building implementing a controller. The system includes a first control arm and a second control arm. The system also includes an extrusion head located on a distal end of the second control arm. The controller is operable to adjust the first control arm to hold a distal end stead within a predetermined window of coordinates. The controller is also operable to position the second control arm such that the extrusion head is located according to the controller directions.
