Is this as much of a bombshell to everyone else as it is to me? Section 6.3 says the balls are approximately 40", and ours came up a couple inches short even with the help of the compressor. 120cm is more than 47"... I'd think this would make a HUGE difference for a lot of designs, both in terms of the size of your gripper, and how much this thing is going to bounce if you stretch it out 20% more. I'm hoping to see this re-clarified soon.
