There was a thread on this topic a few months back that looked at the feasibility of using door lock actuators though I never saw the conclusion or if anyone ever did any testing on it. I'd be interested to know how well it works personally, there are many years where our shifters are the only pneumatics on our robot and it would be nice to save the weight and not worry about air leaks.
