Okay, let's see... Poka yoke is the answer, but I'm still trying to figure out how a gravity-activated arm works. Is it powered by unicorn tears or something?

Hmm, I'm not sure. It could be Kaizen as well, since the engineer is making a small, incremental improvement to the process. But Poka yoke seems like the best fit here.
