Re: can we control the amount of air to control the speed of the cylinder?

Sounds like you need a series of reduction regulators to each distinct cylinder. The balancing act is the hardest. Maybe make a test pressure dongle to a T and check each leg, then tune it up.

We learned more about pneumatics in 5 weeks than we ever knew. Our robot works with one speed going up and a different speed going down.

Thanks to everyone for their info
