That would violate <T25>:

<T25> The only equipment that may be brought on to the ARENA is the OPERATOR CONSOLE,
reasonable decorative items, and special clothing and/or equipment required due to a
disability. Other items, particularly those intended to provide a competitive advantage for
the TEAM, are prohibited.
If you want to lower the arm, it must be done mechanically by backdriving the motors or some way of disengaging them. You will not be allowed to use electrical power for this while in the arena.
