Re: Pneumatics holding their position

one caviot: they will only hold as described above if your system has no leaks

Ive seen bots with arms extended at the end that sloooooooowwllly drooped while the judges were scoring - if your pnuematics leak, the final resting position is what counts.

If you want something to stay put at the end, put a latching mechanism on it - something that will have to be manually released to retract.
