Is there a way to use the SMC pneumatics in a circuit with the V5, specifically the old reservoirs. Maybe a solenoid or a piston or two, mostly just the tank though. We purchased one kit but they are out of stock, would like to get a bit more PSI though and get more but there are a few things with getting another VEX kit
A) can’t purchase because they are always out of stock
B) can’t purchase Individual parts
Is there a part that I can get to use the old reservoir in the new kit. My team is still new to pneumatics. WOuld we have to just run a circut for one and one for another, can they not be mixed?
SMC and VEX pneumatics are all interchangeable, including reservoirs, solenoids, or air cylinders. SMC components can be purchased from SMC, or from resellers like radwell.com or motionindustires.com

You won’t get any more psi (100 psi max is allowed) but you can get more volume, so you’ll have more actuations of your air cylinders.

Starting this morning, and still right now, they are in-stock on the VEX website. Get 'em while they’re hot!
