Re: Pistons only halfway up

Air is a spring, so it's difficult to position the piston in a pneumatic cylinder accurately unless it's at one end of it's travel, or the other.

Good design with pneumatics is to have the pistons travel all the way to the end. Matt C made an excellent suggestion for how to do this.
