We haven't decided yet if we're going to actuate all four cylinders together through a single valve or give them each (or in pairs) a valve to increase air flow. We'll probably try it both ways and, if there's no really compelling reason for the added airflow, use a single valve.
Fair enough. May I ask what each pod weighs, with motors and wheels?
