Am I missing anything?

Good guessing, but not quite.
We have 3 Cims, powering 3 wheel boxes, the forth wheel box has nothing giving it power so it just turns and goes along.
The steering is driven by a Van Door motor.
1 cim is powering the turret, through some major gearing.
The lift goes up and down with string and spool powered by 2 Ficher Price motors.
You got the pnuematics right on the arms, 2 used to flap the arms up and down and 2 used for a spear to go in and out.
