Dave
I took the pics last night, but did not post them yet.

We have not yet tested the setup, but we do not anticipate a left/right difference because our design is symmetrical; the arm is located along the centerline of the robot, hinged at the front (or rear if we so decide) end, putting the strafe wheel down between the to main drive gearboxes. We do plan to add a control system and bumpers soon, to use as one of our robots to test/scrimmage against during driver practice.
