I looked at the model, and I can't figure out what propels the minibot forward? Is it some sort of spring? It looks like there is a release cylinder, but I can't figure out what it does.

Lots of surgical tubing.
We connect the surgical tubing from the cradle that the minibot sits on to the tip of the "Y" which aligns to the pole.
Since the surgical tubing is held on with zip-ties... we don't model it.
