Re: pneumatics or motors?

Don't be lulled into false hope with the number of available motors. Add too many or have several running at the same time can cause you to draw the battery down to critical levels. Remember that the Crio will automatically disable all outputs when the battery voltage falls to 5.5 volts. It will generally reboot if the battery voltage falls to 4.5 volts for a short time. You are being given more motors to choose from for your particular design. Use them wisely.
