Re: pic: Air Suspension

Clever... since the pistons are all connected and of the same bore, the pressure and therefore the force on each wheel must be the same.

But since the weight distribution in your robot is not 100% even, do you8 have a problem with it sitting at a funny angle? Also is there a benefit to using double-acting pistons or could you save hose, fittings, and weight and go with single acting pistons?

Neat idea!
