The surgical tool is coupled to a distal end of the elongate member and has an effector at an opposite end. The location of the visible feature is fixed relative to a roll orientation of the effector, so that a position of the visible feature during use indicates the roll orientation of the effector. Other embodiments include an endoscopy surgical instrument controller to control the movements of a pulling tendon and a pushing tendon, an adaptor for coupling a motor shaft to actuate a tendon of an endoscopy surgical instrument, an endoscopy surgical instrument controller to actuate a terminal joint, and a transport endoscope docking station comprising a base and a platform to which the base is rotatably coupled.
