Yeah, our arm. Actually, it really depends on what drivetrain we want to pick (yes, I know its week 4, apparently we're building 3 different drives...). But if it's the kit bot, we have an anti tip mechanism which is essentially a set of outriggers powered by the window and van door motors.

And, about 2" of clearance -- it can be reduced though.
