Providing a first movement including rotating a first arm about a rotational axis of a robot drive; rotating a second arm on the first arm, where the first and second arms form a robot arm, where the first and second arms are the only arms of the robot arm, where the robot arm has an end effector rotationally fixed to the second arm, and where the end effector is configured to support a substrate thereon for transporting the substrate by the robot arm; and controlling the rotating to provide a path of the end effector such that the end effector does not contact the substrate during the rotating. Providing a second movement including rotating the arms to provide an at least partially straight linear path of a center of the substrate relative to the rotational axis of the drive robot when the substrate is on the end effector.
