Basically the hose (1/4) and the 1/8 NPT rule limits the "power available".

Many mechanisms we've seen over the years
could have been dangerous, but if a team is smart enough to design that mechanism, they're probably smart enough to handle it safely. I think that the pneumatics are so limited both out of safety, and so that their power doesn't far exceed the power of other FIRST components.

Why not just enable your robot for a little while in the pits and let the compressor run?
