Am I missing anything?

Btw sweet looking bot, looks very versatile.

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.
