No, what it does in this particular instance is, it makes a single use SPUD,
the thrower arm, useful in a multitude of ways because it can now interface
with anything that accepts a technic axle.
My examples cannot be "worked inside" because they are SPUDs in the truest
sense of the word. A Throwbot arm is still a Throwbot arm, no matter where
you put it, because it can't interface in any other way. If they'd put a
couple Technic holes in it, then I would probably not have cut mine, I'd
have built on top of them.

OK, carrying the example a bit too far, there. There are a lot of steps
between "modifying SPUDs in rare and specific circumstances" and "machine
down metal pieces."
