Go to Post I continue in FIRST because I'm not looked down upon for not knowing how to do something, but held up because I want to learn. - LemmingBot [more]

Well I am no expert at pneumatic motors.

I have contemplated using pneumatic motors since FIRST has open up the pneumatic rules. They appear to be not used for precision motion. Pneumatic valves, simply can't move fast enough.

If you found a pneumatic motor small enough to use on a first robot, perhaps it would be better to replace motors elsewhere so that you can use extra motors on the drivetrain. Maybe, rework a pneumatic screwdriver or grinder? That would make a pretty funny roller claw.
