I actually meant arms with all joints on the same plane ( --O--O--O-- ). And you're right, for compatition purposes it's pointless to have a fancy and uncontrollable arm, but in this case the goal is to have a big fancy arm that has no purpose (maybe Isould have mentioned that earlier...).

But thank you very much
