Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone uses a pneumatic/piston puncher or pneumatic intake for their robot this year and what the pros and cons are. I feel like pneumatics can be faster in some scenarios and would allow you to use more motors for areas like the drivetrain because strong drivetrains are important in such an aggressive season. Also, has anyone considered or is using two pairs of flaps (one pair in the front and one in the back) so you would save time because you would have to maneuver/ turn around less? Thanks in advance!
Our teams used pneumatic punchers for Spin Up Worlds,
Very good and consistent results.
But of course the number of actuation is limited by the amount of air you have.
So you just got to do you own analysis to decide if the number of actuations required (in the duration of a match) can be supported by the amount of air that you have.
