Oh, so you used one cylinder attached to the compressor to actuate another cylinder that's attached to the suction mechanism?
I remember seeing another team with a vacuum mechanism in Newton (on the webcast). It was pretty neat. They had a motor driving the cylinder like a piston. I'd imagine they had some pressure valves so the air can only flow in one direction.
