Re: Never Do This, and Other Good Ideas Gone Bad
On the subject of Pneumatics:
One cycle of a 2" Bore, 24" throw piston at 60 psi uses the entire legal air storage capacity of a 2005-2010 FRC robot.... We tried to use one for hanging last year, without realizing that we wouldn't be able to use our kicker for approximately 15-20 seconds before firing the hanging piston or else we wouldn't have enough air at the end of the match to hang.
(A cycle being, piston extended and then retracted.)
