Re: Hanging w/ pneumatics
Our team uses a 2" bore 10" throw lifting pistol. The piston is connect to extrusions which extend to the top of the bar using a pully system. Then the piston goes to work lifting all 129.3 pounds off the ground.

PS- Our robot uses a total 7 pistons (a far cry from last years 3 piston robot)

Whats next? Using pistons for the drive train.
