We were pursuing a lot of designs for Hab 2/ Hab 3 and only got a design to work during the last week of build season. The problem is that we need 4 Pneumatic air tanks to remotely control the whole system. We order 4 pneumatic air tanks from Clippard because andymark was all out but Clippard hasn’t shipped it yet. We have no clue when we will be receiving the air tanks and we have a competition on the 9th. We called them to talk to them about our situation but they haven’t called us back.
I am part of team 2914 and we are located in Washington DC. Does anybody have any ideas on how to proceed or if there are any other vendors that we can purchase pneumatic air tanks from?
You might be able to find tanks designed for air horns and such from an auto parts shop. They wouldn’t be the same form factor, but as long as they’re rated for the pressure and you can take the weight, they should be OK.
Oops. I thought mounting the pneumatic fittings required a lot more work. We found a local team that is willing to lend us some tanks until our get here. Thx for the help
