Yep! There are notches in the arm gear that a steel rod gets pushed into using cylinders. We poached the idea from 254's T-shirt cannon and 118's 2014 robots, and it allows our arm to start up and inside the frame perimeter. Matter of fact, we bagged it that way.

(Now, are all those notches where they need to be? Ask me after Palmetto.
