Re: arm design
I agree with Zippiot. While pneumatics are easy to do and install, its all or nothing with them. In or out, not halfway. Motors allow that option. And they don't just randomly burn up or catch fire. Only if they are overworked/ overstressed. You just need to check the loads on them. Plus, pneumatic tubes can get pinched. In addition, what happens when your air tank runs out? You have to wait for it to reload. And in a game where defense is key, that could cause you capping points. Just some words for thought...
