Re: pic: 488 Arm Prototype

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the weight neccesary for a given torque and range of movement is constant. Saving weight on the cylinder is possible, but you seem to be arguing that by moving the mounting point and changing the length of the cylinder, you managed to reduce the air requirement.
