Pneumatics and fisher price motors together?

[neurotrek]

Hello CD,

Does anyone know if it would be mechanically possible to have the fisher price motor and the pneumatic pistons work together for a lifting system?

If so, can you explain?

Thank You.

It is possible, perhaps you could have an arm attach to the vertical post of the tower. Have a pneumatic cylinder raise the arm when you are ready to hang. Have a FP powered winch to pull the other end of the robot up towards the arm, and have the pneumatic cylinder also pull the robot back up to the arm.

the arm concept is demonstrated here
