In the "Building The Pink Panther" section it mentions pneumatic cylinders running at 20 psi instead of 120 psi. I sent them a note to correct the "nits" so we will see what happens. But overall, having FIRST included in the "How Stuff Works" web site is a great bonus!

Dave, Don't the cylinders run at 60 psi? The accumulators are pressurized to 120 psi, but the cylinders are limited to 60 psi.
