Of course. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't an issue with using them.

According to the 2015 pneumatics manual, at 60 psi something of this size could lift 170 lbs. The volume needed would be ~113.1 in^3, or 1853.4 ml. This would mean we'd need four air tanks to fill one piston. Doesn't seem /too/ terrible. It's definitely doable.
