Gee that sounds familiar - our arm 'tower' is hinged, and is tilted towards the rear at startup in order to keep our overall height under 48". In the autonomous period, we raise our arm, drive forward, and then reverse quickly. Inertia carries the arm tower forward, so that it can latch into place in a vertical position
