Re: Pneumatic Muscles

While the function is similar, a pneumatic muscle is different than a cylinder. FRC has been very restrictive on the list of the components allowed in the past. The tubing allowed would not make a good muscle since it doesn't contract that much with the allowed pressure. There was the First choice part a couple of years ago.
