Also, it looks like you are doing a 6 motor drive. Big thumbs up to that!

I'm curious as to why the double wheels? To be sure you are applying the power of that 6 motor drive?

PS. Is this thing built yet?
The arm is actually an interesting setup. The vandoor motor drives the arm via chain & sprockets, and the pneumatics drive a cam which also drive the arm -- in short it's a motor powered, pneumatic-cam assisted arm.
And yep, the double wheels are to get as much traction as possible.

So far the transmissions are about 95% built.
