We are using pneumatics a lot this year. Our tetra grabber uses 2, we raise our elevator with 2, we have a brake that uses 1 and an outrigger that uses 1. If we have weight left after official weigh in then we might add 1 or 2 more. They are quick and precise. They can be controlled. They are basically 2 position. Why use motors to go from point A to point B when I can do it faster and exactly correct every time using pneumatics. As for weight, I believe that the gearboxes and motors needed to do the same jobs would be equal to or greater than the pneumatics weight.
