Re: "hydraulics"

pneumatics are more fun to play with because hydralics are so slow

you cant compress hydralic oil so you have to pump it to make the cylinders move - the speed of the cylinder is dependant of the speed of the oil through the pump.

but with pneumatics, you can pressurize a tank and BLAST it into the cylinder in a fraction of a second

(or so I have been told :c)
