Re: If you would "pull-up"...

I would use the compressor motor

connected to a 2" diameter cylinder with pnuematic tubing

a 2" diameter cylinder driven with 60 psi produces 180 lbs of force directly

on a 130 lb bot it would lift you within a second

and I would be sure to have it latch (mechanically) in the up postion

remember, you dont have to be doing a chin-up - you only need to be off the floor.

1/10th of an inch is 'off' the floor!
