I tend to disagree with the whole pneumatics thing cuase what my team did last year was reverse the pneumatics so it created a sucking for our suction plate which worked great in practice and is in it self completly safe however with somethign being used in a manor it wasn't designed for there is a some safty issues an issue that was easily solved by a $.15 piece that we found however none of the allowed companies sold it so we had to use a different piece in yet another manor not intended so what could have cost $.15 (one little valve, weighing minimum ) turn into a $5.00 piece that weighed 1/8 pound , but we needed 4 that added up to 1/2 pund which doesn't sound alot but is when tettering on the edge like we were. ANy way at regionals the make shift valve caused this huge hub-bub at regionals between the judges and the kid and engineer that designed the elaberate sytem and had we actually been a contender at regionals we wern't we would have had to take them off therefore destroying our robots dedfense ( and it was a ramp defender). Luckily the judge was nice enough to let it slide ( THANK YOU!) and it made no difference at all and we finished 2nd to last but that doesn't matter. The put is if we had addecuate supplies none of that would have happened!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. the whole scheme right there is pretty much shortened down a lot and I could go on for ever discussing that one piece and all of its hasle but I dont want to waste space on the forum so just message me with any questions or comment that are directly related to the piece.
