Ah nice! thank You for the Reply! Our team thought about using a pneumatic cylinder for that too, however we've already got two being used, one to raise our arm and the other for the grabber at the end... and with using a single small compresser, we dont really want to use any more cylinders. We're using the largest cylinder that Bimba makes! i think its like 2 feet long nearly! lol Thank You again for sharing!
