Now, is there anything in the rules to forbid you capping off the 2x4 extruded aluminum pieces and creating vacuum tanks?
I dont think so, but I dunno how your gonna make that much of a vacuum without a pump...

On a related note:
Theres a way to make your robot have ALOT more air pressure stored then you have in the canisters using extrusions, and I believe it would be legal. so ponder away...
