1. A system for locking a rotatable shaft, the system comprising:
a base member couplable to the rotatable shaft and rotatable about a rotation axis of the rotatable shaft through a plurality of angular positions, the base member comprises a first curved slot and a second curved slot formed on a flat surface of the base member;
a first pin and a second pin being positioned with respect to the base member such that at least one of the first pin or the second pin is aligned with at least one of the first curved slot or the second curved slot of the base member for any angular position of the base member; and
an actuator to displace at least one of the first pin or the second pin to removably insert at least one of the first pin or the second pin into at least one of the first curved slot or the second curved slot during operation of the system.
