The arm really only goes up to shoot. There's a travel position for crossing barriers that's much lower.
Re Theseus comment:
As far as I know Dark Matter ('14) still has most of it's original structure in place. The CIMs got replaced. There was a mid season gearing change, most of the belts got changed. Intake wheels were replaced but that was due to damage, same as the Digital Sidecar, pneumatics regulator... Now, I've never seen a frame bowed quite as much as it is. And it makes some horrid noises while being wheeled around likely due to cracked bearing races in the drive pods. But, not bad for playing offense in the heavy hitting NE defense. As you know Branden, we took a lot of big hits that year.
