Pros and Cons of Using Pneumatics
What are the pros and cons of pneumatics. How does your team justify the use of all that weight for say only a two speed shifter. or one mechanism. Also, how do you find the weight to put the pneumatics system in there. My team tried it our first year, and we didnt have the weight. (25 ounds over) I've always like pneumatics because I havent seen them fail really. Why are pneumatics better than leadscrews. I guess its a bit scrambled but I guess the only way to justify them is by using alot of them. What does your team determine as alot?
