This is generally my objection to pneumatics.
If you are repeating the process over and over, you're chewing through your batteries via the compressor. If you're not, then why are you including pneumatics when a motor or servo can do the same job?
I long for the day that the electric solenoid -- so darn useful in industry -- is finally allowed in FIRST.
