I'm pretty sure that I posted this question somewhere in cyberspace already, but I thought it would be answered quicker as a thread. In the Zion Battle with the APUs (Thank you Alias Neo), after they retreated into Zion itself, those setinels swarmed all over the "dead" driller. How in god's name did they make alive again. The Driller was heavily damaged already, (and from that drop) so how did shocking it bring it back to life?

The sentinels used their power to re-power the drill.
Its pretty obvious while watching, you can see the sentinels red eyes flicker and basically go out, they are just giving it power.

I think he was referring to the post about it being a prelude.

The sentinels are giving their power to recharge the drills. Neo is injected with some kind of energy or program used to destroy Smith. It's kind of opposite, so it wouldn't really prelude to it...

It would be more like foreshadowing And we know the Wachowski's do it all the time. Even all the way back to the first movie - Smith's death for instance
