Re: Pnumatic Rules Suggestions/Gripes

Another thing that I have been pondering about is the use of different kinds of pistons...This year the rotary device was added. There are many different pistons out there and many would be useful...an example would be a double ended piston (lets see if i can do art....)(sorry for the lack of terminology)

For pistons like these i see enormous value and an almost endless design advantage. It would simplify many of our current pneumatic systems and open a world of new ideas/options teams have.

-just some thoughts to ponder upon
