Re: Pneumatic Muscles

Team 1699 has one lying around the shop. I have been bugging mentors for the past year or 2 to try and use them. When just messing around I couldn't get the festo ones to work. They are really helpful though. They weight practically nothing compared to regular actuators and are super strong. You can also vary their length. They aren't just fully retracted or fully extended. Im still trying to get these to work.
