Well, discobrisco said schematic..

No they have not released a schematic with dimensions.

Have you checked out that mechanism? It's pretty cool, I was pretty impressed by that. It pretty much winds up the 2 linkages then it winds up the first linkage using an obstruction on the gear, then it releases both linkages once the second linkage passes over the obstruction, freewheeling the gear 180 degrees to allow the extension on both linkages. Kinda hard to visualize but you'll get it if you mess around with the CAD.
