This can work too. Just be aware of the torque loads you're going to be putting on the output of the gearing. Make sure whatever you use isn't going to get sheared off if you bump the arm wrong.

In a game like FIRST Stronghold, "bump the arm wrong" might include heavy bouncing from merely driving from one part of the field to another.
