Let's keep our cool, Kevin :)

Sample points are currently limited to just 4 in the UI ("backend"
supports more), and there is no PDB API to access them from scripts.

So yes, theoretically it would be entirely possible to make as many
sample points as needed, then run a script that would export positions
of all sample points to something like CSV. For this to happen,
someone will have to:

1) adjust UI to allow for more sample points;
2) write PDB API;
3) write a script to access sample points via PDB API and export their
positions.

Volunteers are more than just welcome.
