Re: Pneumatics uses

Catapults - I know of teams who have used pneumatic catapults in 2008, 2014, and 2016

We've used small cylinders a couple teams to jostle game pieces into a better location (with varying success) in 2014 and 2015

Arms / intakes - you can rotate them up and down with pneumatics

Suction - 2014 and 2016 had some teams use low pressure to grab balls

Drivetrains - gear shifting, Power take-off, octocanum
