Not keen on having my (Meggamouse or Mini mighty mouse) flipper locked down. If the ram fires then you have a gassed up bot a ram under full pressure and someone has to stick their hand in to dump the gas and hope the ram empties. Having the flipper arm locked clear of the ram, if the ram fires nothing happens and the machine can be moved to a safe area.

The system used by Pressure and Maelstrom where the locking device is removed from a distance is far safer in my view, although I have had no issues with my robots, I may make a similar system.
