Re: problems with pneumatic tubing in telescoping arm
one other way to telescope your tubing would be to make a small hollow rectangular prism (say, 4" x tube width x length of non-telescoping part of arm) and push the tube in and out of this box to keep it from kinking or coiling. (see attachment) the red is nearest the bottom, and the blue is nearest the top. Because the tubing cannot (reference top view) go outside of the box, it must "coil" in and out.
Just a thought from the middle of VUS History.
