Reminds me of when we got jealous after the Philly Regional in 99 when we realised how important pulling the puck was. So, we created a double hook that stuck out like a tail for nationals....it now keeps our door to our white board window closed after we found out that not only would it hook to the puck, but to everything else as well.....

: So why did I tell you this? Well, it's because while designing this arm, a concern about accidents was raised up. What if the arm moves too fast and locks into the body during a match? The driver might accidentally push the arm too close (well I was the driver and that never happened :-) ), or some other robot might accidentally (or intentionally) lock our arm in. And we concluded that due to the nature of "accidents", a limit switch might not be quick enough to prevent the locking, or the outside force might be too great for the Van door motors to push against.
