The word 'vacuum' does NOT appear in any section of the 2004 manual. Generating a vacuum is not really a pnuematics application.
Can we use commerical off the shelf devices to create a vacuum, if they are powered by one of the motors supplied in the kit of parts?

If you follow the flow chart on page 10 of the section 5, "The Robot" and answer truthfully you will end up at the bottom box "No it may not be used." You will branch off at "pnuematics/ Hydraulics" or even further down under additional electronics "Is it a ...or pump?"
