We used pneumatic's. We used pneumatic's for allot of stuff. Once we threw the compressor on we figured we might as well get the most use out of it. Which is pretty cool cause I like pneumatics.

So I'm pretty biased, I say it's better to use pneu than motors.


If they would let me, I would have our bot be a hover craft off that compressor. That would be wicked

EDIT: Well for our arm extention we used motors, that's a good way to go. As the above poster said you need middle ground for the extention. Plus I don't think they're are pistons big enough to go to the top leg.
