Perhaps I'm looking at the render incorrectly, but it looks like the gearboxes are offset from each other (the one on the robot's left is more forward, the one on the robot's right is more aft) rather than being directly across from each other. I assume this was designed so that the right and left sides would be congruent to each other and easier to manufacture, but I would think if they were lined up, the bellypan would be more uniformly accessible. I was hoping you would speak about why you decided to design it as you did.
