1. A surgical robotic arm storage assembly, comprising:
a robotic arm including:
a base configured to be supported on a surgical cart; and
a plurality of elongate members pivotably connected to one another and coupled to the base; and
a first stand including:
a first support column detachably engaged with at least one of the plurality of elongate members;
a first boom extending from a first end portion of the first support column and detachably engaged with the base of the robotic arm, wherein the first stand is configured to support the robotic arm on a surface; and
a second boom extending perpendicularly from the first end portion of the first support column, the first boom detachably engaged with a first side of the base of the robotic arm, and the second boom detachably engaged with a second side of the base of the robotic arm.
