If you want to be technical, air IS a fluid. Hydraulics really means liquid-based. They are much more powerful than pneumatics and are what drives most heavy machinery. FIRST, however, doesn't let us use hydraulics (probably a good thing), and limits us to only using pneumatics that move in-and-out in straight lines.
