Outside of a the legal pneumatic rules, it would really bee cool to see a
Tesla turbine used in place of an electric motor.
No valves necessary! And some
easily constructed ones have a similar output speed to a banebots motor (no idea about torque though)
Either way, it seems pretty inefficient, but it's an interesting idea.
