: : I think this year is the year pneumatics. A lot of people seem to be using pneumatics for many and the same uses. I was wondering what teams that are going to UTC and or Florida use and dont use pneumatics. Just wondering. Good luck all!!!

: we actually had a whole pneumatic system to lift the bridge. but apparently when we brought it to the quincy scrimmage, we found out that it wasnt enough power (even though it could life a battery) to push the bridge up). So we had to remove a week's worth of work and put it in a bin
for a major redesign. Sucks eh?
: on the other hand, i've always wanted to make a choo choo train with our pneumatics.

maybe i can still use it and put just the two tanks in there. perhaps at the end of a match release a whole bag of confetti after every match? or maybe stick out a "bang" flag using the pistons?
