Yeah lego pneumatics are awesome sept you have to build your own pump and your own ways of automating the swtiches, they arent really made to be put on mindstorms kits. There are TONs of crazy things lego makes that you woulda never known. Por Ejemplo, where he has thoes extra motors sitting? You could get the lego weight modules, each one is 2 times the weight of the motor is, and about half the size! If you wanted to winch that bot up, you could get the old school hooks from thier crane kits, they were made of steel! Or if you really wanted to pump up the power you use micro motors to actuate the lego polarity switches, and wire 2 battery boxes in parallel! Theres alot of tricks out there...
