Re: Are Fans Pneumatic Devices?

Using some of the definitions in the other thread, every robot on the field uses a pneumatic device to get around: the drive train (hereafter known as "device"). It sounds crazy, but hear me out!

Motors propel the device in such a way to create a high-pressure side and a low pressure side, wherein air on the high pressure side imparts a non-trivial force onto the robot and the surrounding objects. Conversely, high-speed robots can use this device to intentionally create a higher-than-normal pressure situation on the leading edge of the device, which could then be used as an interference mechanism for any lightweight objects nearby - objects comprising of but not limited to:
  • 4060's latching mechanism
  • Paper airplanes on Einstein
  • The hair that belongs to referees
