Yes, there are (IIRC) two external cams on the first stage and one on the second stage simulator plus internal cams in the simulator and an internal cam in the recovery section of the first stage (to monitor chute deployment).

A bit OT, I've been studying the Constellation Program, and the Orion looks a bit cramped. Is there a plan to have a recreation module (~12 dia x 20) long attached to it? We've all played darts right, well nerf darts would be a panic in weightless, toss the dart and it could take a minute as it drifts to the board. I'm thinking Mars too, it's good for moral, physics and eye-hand coordination. Another question, what's the best site to get data on todays test? Ken

On Orion flights to ISS, the recreation module is called "ISS".
On Orion flights to the moon, the recreation module is called "Altair".
On Orion flights to Mars, the recreation module is called a "Mars Transfer Vehicle".
None of them are the dimensions you suggest, however.
