Re: Manipulator(Arm) Help

I would strongly suggest using motors, if you can. Pneumatics can be easier to implement in some arm designs, but motors are easier to control accurately. It is also a lot harder to run out of electricity for motors than it is to run out of air. You can find specs on the various motors and pneumatic components in the FIRST Guidelines, Tips, and Good Practices document and the FIRST Pneumatics Manual, both available here.
