FYI -Two years ago, shortly after kickoff, we ordered 2"x24" cylinders from Bimba with the PDV and they arrived the Saturday of the final build weekend.

The smaller diameter ones have always arrived quickly.

According to tests we performed, pneumatic cylinders of the right size work great with pulling a robot up to maybe the first level. Just consider the weight that pneumatics adds to your robot, however.

Thanks, we'll have to keep that in mind. The 2x8" ones we ordered are pretty integral to our design.
