1. A system for stabilizing a track-wheel based device, the system comprising:
a support track configured to support the track-wheel based device, to allow the track-wheel based device to perform a movement over the support track, wherein the support track comprises a first substantially vertical face, a second substantially vertical face, a first substantially horizontal face, and a second substantially horizontal face;
a support-finger coupled to the track-wheel based device via a pivot point, the support-finger being rotatable about the pivot point between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position, the support-finger is configured to sandwich the support track between the track-wheel based device and the support-finger, wherein the at least one support-finger is rotatable in a plane parallel to the second substantially horizontal face; and
a biasing member having a first end and second end, the biasing member being coupled to the at least one support-finger via the first end, the biasing member being coupled to the track-wheel based device via the second end, wherein the biasing member is configured to maintain the at least one support-finger biased in the first position.
