If you use the Geogebra program (as opposed to a Geogebra file exported as a dynamic web page) you can do a lot more with it.
One of the interesting things we have also done is to create some simple dynamic vector models to demonstrate what will be (approximately) required to move the arm in different configurations. As you move the model, and the position of the arm changes, the vectors grow or shrink.
