Thanks, it wasn't my decision though, I just drop by and help out the team on occasion.

Yes we've been avoiding pneumatics for years because of the weight and time it takes to charge tanks for thier specific purposes.

I think this game is a good fit for pneumatics becuase alliances are only handling one ball at a time during teleop, so there *should* be time to keep the air tanks full for thier next function.

Good luck everyone!!
