Looks like 67 might be using a disc brake to hold pivot location for the arm?

We have two disc brakes on our 2016 robot, one to hold pivot location and one to hold elevator location. Both are critical for accurate shooting, as well as holding our hang position at the end of the match.

When you get the hang of it (no pun intended), they're pretty simple to integrate into a custom gearbox solution.
