Pneumatic Piston Alterniteive

VEX Robotics Competition Discussion
#1

Hello

Pneumatics are currently out of stock, and I can’t order them currently unless I plan on going to Texas during this thanksgiving.
Are there any alternatives to using this?

Thanks.

You can check SMC to order them. Just make sure the part numbers are the same as on vex.

You could order all of the individual parts from SMC or you can use some clever motor sharing using ratchets or a differentials to use one motor for multiple functions
