Funny enough this is actually almost identical to my original idea. I'm curious, have you passed inspection with this system yet? Is this mechanism legal, it would appear to conflict with rule R76, specifically
"Do not, for example, paint, file, machine, or abrasively remove any part
of a pneumatic COMPONENT – this would cause the part to become a
prohibited item. Consider pneumatic COMPONENTS sacred."
please let me know if this would be legal, cause I'd love to use a system like this on our own robot
