Conclusions

• Arm should possibly be mounted in rear. With
  standard 30 door widths not much room for arm
  hanging on side.
• With the different chairs arm might require two
  different mounting devices.
• One meter might be to long especially if this is
  geared toward ground objects
• A three finger claw might prove more use full
  then the two finger design
• I might be able to get a loner chair if
  interested
