Cmon man you gotta put up a better argument than broad statements like "its almost going to be impossible..." or "im pretty sure..."...If you think teams cannot be lifted with pneumatics, you might wanna scroll through CD-media back to 2004 where quite a lot of teams used pneumatics to lift there 120lb+ selves............VERY SUCCESSFULLY

Get creative...impossible is a dangerous word my friend
