Re: Peumatics or Motor?!?!?!?!
If it needs more than 2 positions, motors are far and away the best way to go. Most motors could be used for this, but the Fisher-price motors and van door motor have been used most in the past.
sponge, I'm not really sure why you are saying that pneumatics are not safe. Certantly, precautions must be taken, but why is a pneumatic arm any more dangerous than a motor powered arm, if they are moving with the same power.
