We have included Pneumatics in the kit used for the Chief Delphi Invitational the last two years. Several teams used them very well.
There is no tank, but 4 pumps that can be run in series that produce a good flow of air supply to small small cylinders to do a task like clamping.
Forget the tank, to large, to heavy and a general inconvience to use.
Hydraulics .....NO WAY. A phrase used in a class I took at Vickers comes to mind P.S.O., this means pressure squirting out. What a mess it would make if a fitting started to leak. There goes the traction.
