Quick Question
Well, something which I noticed while working with a pneumatics setup today was that the compressor was liable to heat up very quickly, mostly because we had a leaky setup which required repeated compressing. However, if the pneumatics tubing was to be incorporated with the rest of the robot's wiring, with components which are likely to generate a lot of heat, I was wondering if it is possible, since pV=nRT, to jack up the temperature of an actuator's surroundings to artificially enhance its pressure. This would help a lot since we are designing a pneumatics pusher which would be able to hurdle the ball, which is quite hard to do at 60 psi (in accordance to <R98>). If we either accidentally or intentionally (for a small actuator, the difference is quite noticeable) increased this pressure by increasing the temperature, would this be acceptable if we did it by accident or practical if we did this on purpose.
