If they would let me, I would have our bot be a hover craft off that compressor. That would be wicked

EDIT: Well for our arm extention we used motors, that's a good way to go. As the above poster said you need middle ground for the extention. Plus I don't think they're are pistons big enough to go to the top leg.
