Re: Risk of the Lift?
The problem I forsee with pnuematics is volume of air, and weight of the system. There is the Bane Bots Transmission that is a 128:1 ratio. That my friends is serious torque. Also in regards to lifting, It would almost have to be done with a non cantilievered lift because you just won't have the counter balancing ability when you (a 135 lb robot) are lifting another 135 lb robot. Do what you will we are in the process of building our lift system this weekend I'll let you know if it works or not.
