How about the parraleelagram method?

Are you refferring to a 4-bar linkage?
This is a perfectly viable solution to a "tall arm".

For some prime examples of 4-bar linkage systems check out the robots from 1997, 1998.

4-bar linkages also made appearances last season as well
(25, 461, 233, others)

Check this one out:
