Re: Does your 06 robot have pneumatics?

We are using pneumatics this year. I would have preffered not to use any, but our drivetrain is making a two speed shifter, so they thought it necessary to use pneumatics. So based on that decision i used one pneumatic for the shooter just to keep things as light as possible.

Last year we originally had pneumatic pistons for the arm mechanism and the tetra grabber. But we replaced those parts with different mechanical parts and we went from 8 pounds overweight to 6 pounds under!
