Personally I have mixed feelings about PVC barrels, to me it seems like any pressure buildup would be momentary and limited, and therefor not much of a concern. I will, however, agree with others that using PVC as an accumulator is extremely dangerous (plastic shrapnel is no fun).
The programmers tend to get less credit than they deserve, but the robot wouldn't run if we weren't there. :) - IMDWalrus [more]
