Re: Pneumatic Cylinder Limits
Lots of Storage - depending on your system needs, you might not need to have the compressor on board. you can charge the system before the match. this can be a significant weight savings.
another benefit is that even if you do have the compressor on board, it might not need to run very often. this conserves your power.
Little storage - you save the weght of the reserviors. the negative is that your compressor may run several times during the match, using a lot of electrical power.
The decision depends on your pneumatic needs. If all you are doing is shifting transmissions, then a large reservoir may allow you to shift several times without needing a compressor on board.

I also like how the FTC folks are able to get involved with the FRC process this year, but it's always a bit of a let down when you're told you can't launch things into the air. - s_forbes [more]
