i think in terms of pneumatics, that tank was a little big and most teams didn't use it-- for most, it was probably a waste of some expensive equipment because they didn't want to take up that much room for a little suction-- they were cool, but need to be more size efficient for more teams to use it..

i think hydraulics would be cool-- and i think it's VERY likely we see them if not this year, but in the near future--

Just from the Team Forum, one of the help guides FIRST listed as they were going to make was the 'Fluid Power Guide'-- maybe it's just to play with our heads.. but why not??

Hydraulics are a good source of power.. and maybe everyone's a little afraid of water... but that would be a heck of a cool challenge--
