They start in the down position, and then we release them with a pneumatic cylinder and the arms come up using gas shocks. The arms have two positions states due to the way we have the steel cable wired. When the arms are fully extended, the arms lean out about 8 degrees. When the arms are in, the arms lean in about 8 degrees. That brings up our front end at the end of the hang.
