Beautiful robot as always.

It all depends on the situation. We wanted to have the capability to keep the grabber and tube in our footprint, but it all depends on the situation. If we're driving through a lot of traffic, we'll stow the arm. If we're not driving through traffic, then there's no reason to bring the arm in.
