It can go either way, straight or angled. I think the technical term for a straight dovetail is a mortise and tenon.

Either way, I was referring to the door hinge style.

Alright, now I'm more confused...

So I would make a tenion joint between the carriage and the shaft? That doesn't make sense... Or between the carriage and the side plate?

I think a better graphic would help the most honestly, I don't want to place any extra work on you though, but if you could I'd love to see your way of fixing this problem.

Door hinge is still the best description I can come up with.

For modeling, take a door hinge and replace the plates with arms of the length you'd need. Replace the pin with the axle.

Note that some geometry would probably need to be changed to accommodate robot dimensions and stress.
