Re: What kind of cylinders does your team stock?

Bimba is extremely generous with their donation. Depending on the cylinders you choose, you can get a few hundred dollars' worth of parts. Of course, don't just opt for the most expensive ones available - figure out your constraints first, then pick your cylinders to match. If you're not using cylinders and just want a good all-purpose size, ~1.5'' bore x ~8'' stroke is probably the size I've used most.
We got one Lunacy year just because. I love to use it for pneumatic training, especially for volume and capacity lessons.

Bimba has been a fantastic long time sponsor of FIRST.
