This note sketches several approaches for tracking in the Millipede system. Emphasis is placed on position error signal (PES) generation because this is the starting point and most critical component of any tracking servo system. The peculiarities of the Millipede and the possibilities it offers for tracking are outlined, and several ways to exploit them are proposed.
