Re: Pneumatic Muscles

As far as a contract-extend pneumatic cylinder goes, we (1619) used a few this year to make a hinging claw to pick up the ball. What would happen is the claw would open, swing forward, scoop up the ball, close, and retract back up with the ball. I am new to the team this year, so I don't know the details of placement and such, but that was the basic premise.
