That FESTO link leads to an amazing device demonstration they call the air arm.
air arm Someone should contact the company and ask if they would bring this device to St. Louis. They have a lot of other projects listed at the same site. Worth your time to look at their films. Actually any of their projects would go over very well at Championships.

Seconded. I'll be there this year, and I'd love to see that in action. Maybe we'll see something similar on a bot.

yes... i do think that a Pneumatic Muscle is a very good way of grasping the inner tubes but the only problem is that it can only be fully extended or not. no in between.
