: But wut if u wur 2 link the ends two of the cylinders and use their motion to creat a vacume.

I believe that this would be within the rules. I think you could also connect an electrical motor to the cylinder to do this.

The question I have is what do you do with that vacuum? Rule M14 states that "Only items listed under the PNEUMATICS secion of the Kit list may be used to store, generate, or transmit compresed air or vacuum" and team update #2 elimited the possibility of fabricating suction cups.

The pneumatics guys at the kickoff mentioned that the compressor was also designed as a vacuum pump and thought running it backward would produce a vacuum. I'm not sure he was right, he was a salesman not an engineer.

Hope this helps

Jim
