Again, since this won't get built, I wasn't as concerned about how it would perform as I was with how easy it is to use the VexPro products. That being said, it should be fairly easy to either throw a couple of gas shocks going from the arm to the supports, or just extend then main arm back farther and have some surgical tubing pulling down on the other side of the shoulder joint.
