When are pnuematics warrented?
Being as our team has very rarely decided to use pneumatics, citing weight, I haven't been able to see the point in FIRST competition where enough pneumatics are used to make the weight of the compressor and such worthwhile. For spontaneous action, pneumatics can't be beat, but for use on an arm or other fine adjustment device, I just can't see the benefit of pneumatics. Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or perhaps an example of when it's worked? I would like to learn how to do variable control pneumatics.
