Re: Pneumatics piston

Slow they may be, but sure they are.

Pneumatic pistons used in the way described are not legal. Reason not given, but I would suspect Al's reasoning is correct. http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=16749

Re: Pneumatics piston

I question that answer. I haven't seen an answer from the GDC that did not cite a rule before, and I can't find a rule that this would violate. You might post a follow up question asking what specific rule it violates so you can modify your design to alleviate the violation.

Exactly, one of my colleagues and I derived another question that follows up our previous question. Referencing the possibilities from this thread, along with the rest of the resources @ Chief Delphi.
