Re: No Pneumatics?
On 562, my team as a student, we used pneumatics every year except for Lunacy. We had a couple successful robots, no regional titles, but those robots were very strong.
Since joining 3623 (and even before, during their rookie year) we have not used pneumatics. We were pondering whether to use them this year to hang, but considering our design and the weight penalty comparatively (Our robot was 89 pounds, IIRC) made using pneumatics just for one system impractical. We had no problems without it.
Think about using it year to year, but make sure you know how to use it and set it up correctly. I'd never be opposed, but think about usage.
