1 + 4 = 5 cylinders ........
There is only one cylinder in the kit + you can order 4 = 5.
The other two "cylinders" that are in the kit are actually accumulator tanks that store a volume of compressed air. |

FRC2002 group
on the FRC group on yahoo it says 7 but the question that we have is if we don't like the one that was given to us and we can only custom order 4 from first. can the others be from anywhere? and if so does anyone have a relable distributer of pistons?

# of cylinders
I wish that when I awoke tomorrow FIRST will have clarified the question of HOW MANY PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS CAN APPEAR ON YOUR BOT ? ARE WE ALLOWED TO PURCHACE ADDITIONAL VALVES? Three valves does not give us independent control of a potential 7? cyls. Since our teams design is incorperating pneumatics for the first time, this grey area of info is hurting our design process. Elgin Clock is to post the question tonite so lets keep our fingers crossed. If this question has already been answered accuratly please e-mail me @ kurtbot@yahoo.com

Additional Valves? I don't think so.
As to cylinders, I assumed that there were 3 in the kit we had shipped to us, but when I looked for it, we only had one plus 2 tanks, as others have already noted. I am as baffled as anyone. I suppose that the final answer will be 5 cylinders (1 in kit + 4 more to be ordered), but hey, what do I know... Joe J. |

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FRCtech2002/message/113 I am trusting this post as far as actuators I think only what is in the kit. please also if anyone finds out about the limit ask if we have to use the one in the kit or can aquire 3 more from somewhere else greg |
