Ideally, yes. But as soon as the arm attempts to drive itself into a hard stop due to a bug in the code, tries to rotate against a field element or another robot on the field, etc, you'll see much higher than the intended load. Cracking the carrier plate inside a VP isn't my cup of tea when it comes to failure modes.
