Pneumatics can be useful, but don't make your whole robot run on it.

In 2010 we relied wayyy too much on pneumatics. Our kicker, hanger, and "special" drivetrain (see the link in my sig) all used pneumatics. We always were worrying about running low on air, even with the onboard compressor and 4 accumulator tanks.
