Issues with more remote controll
I'm experiencing a bunch of issues with this script. I need help to figure out why it's not working.

I'm trying to build an unmanned utility drone for mining/welding/drilling etc. with swappable tools.

The drone has 2 remote controll pointing in the opposite directions, but only one of them is tagged with the [PAM-Controller] tag.

If I attach the drills through an advanced-rotor the script will tell me that the drills are missing (cause they're on a subgrid) even if I tag them with [PAM]. So the script will work only in shuttle mode.

To prevent this I've tried to use some mergeblocks to connect the drills on to the same grid, but as soon as I attach them, the script will throw this error "Wrong remote direction".
Which is weird because the tagged remote controll is aligned perfectly in the flying direction and the drills are pointing forward.
It's even weirder that if i put the drills on the bottom pointing downards (like a quarry) everything will work just fine, but its not the desing I'm looking for.
