It looks to me like the restrictions on gears chain and sprockets were intended to make the pneumatics more appealing so that everyone would use them, thus making their donating sponsors happier. It saddens me to see the restrictions. It wouldn't be as big of deal if we could use our allowance at McMaster-Carr. SPI doesn't carry squat in comparison and their parts take forever to get!

I guess we'll just have to get used to waiting a week or so for delivery of a high cost limited selection of gears.

On the pneumatics, has anyone figured out how to controll the position of the piston other than mechanically limiting its range? It's supposed to be so much better for robot arms but it seems you could only have two positions of your arm.
