Re: 80/20 as a storage chamber?
I can think of reasoning for not allowing it as a load-bearing chassis or manipulator component, but I've seen plenty of poorly-located pneumatic reservoirs before.

I could see this being a recipe for disaster in that poor metal shavings management could yield a lot of internal damage to downstream components if proper care is not taken when installing.

I still don't know if it offers advantages over using the tried and true Pneuaire tanks, though.
