Last, if it`s not too much to ask, can we see it with the arm out?
AndyMark Gen 1's with pneumatic shifter (only one gearbox shown, piston on the far side in this picture. Also pistons to actuate the ramp (not shown, but you can see the clevises in green), and the platform (again not shown).

We have all the power and electronics on the far side plus some of the ramp stuff is skewed that way to balance the battery and compressor. It's a little off center but not much.

I don't have a good picture of the current configuration deployed; I'll try to generate one on Monday
