We had a "close call" the night before the Chatsworth scrimmage - my wife (who now suffers from a mild case of "robo-phobia"  ), deflected the arm with her own when it rotated in the wrong direction. (Unbeknownst to the team, the connector to the arm direction switch had come apart).
So, after Chatsworth, we put in a limit switch to halt and stow the arm after completing a sweep of the bins OR if the arm were to rotate in the wrong direction.
