you have an arm that folds up past the tower, with a pivot above the platform. then you have a cross member at the tip of the arm and that is past the tower pole and a second on that is lower before the tower pole . If you then start retracting ( folding) the arm back it will clamp itself to the towerpol and the weight of the robot will lock it in. to support this function the crossmembers should have rubber surfaces.
