PVC Tanks
I build spudguns for fun, and i have learned many things along the way, one of them is that sch40 pvc is pretty strong stuff.
let's say that your robot needs lots of air power: would a pvc air tank be better than a metal tank (like the one from the KOP) in terms of [volume]/[weight of tank] ratio?
and even more important: are we even allowed to use pressure rated sch40 pvc pipes and fittings for the pneumatic modules?
Thanks!
