Re: Penumatics confused

The high pressure side of the robot should be at 120 psi, give or take a few. You then step down to 60 PSI for the low pressure side, through a regulator.

Make sure you have gauges on both the high and low side, a manual release valve, and a blow off valve. Read and re-read the pneumatic section of the rulebook - there are some great pictures in there showing you how to hook everything up.
