Pneumatically raised could be dangerous if you're doing it yourself. The two main concerns are if it is going to have enough strength to lift a robot, it will fire very fast when there is no robot on top.

The other is holding pressure, you don't want to be working on this and have it start to slowly drift down and pinch somebody.
