We also have a pneumatic lifter, and we ran into a lot of problems with air usage, but we have determined through testing that 7 black clippard air tanks (1.1 gallons) was enough to last a match. 7 gallons seem like overkill, but I guess too much is better than too little.

Looking good! That recycle container auto would be great for an alliance partner like us

We toyed with the idea of using pistons to lift the totes -- first prototype had two big 18" stroke pistons -- but in the end we went with a chain lift for simplicity. We had terrible problems with battery drain last year running a compressor all match, and wanted to avoid that this year.

Looking forward to getting out on the field with y'all in under a week now!
