Hey there, we need some help with our team. So currently, our team is thinking about buying the pneumatics kit, but I am not sure because the tournament is only 1.5 months away and there is a midterm break between the 19th and the 30th of January. So if you guys could give a recommendation, that would really help.
Side Notes: The tournament is on the 21st of February, our team consists of 8 people and i am the main driver.
If what you are using the pneumatics for isn’t that important, skip pneumatics until a later date. If it is important, you’ll have to wait about 2-3 weeks minimum to get your order in. (Ya know, FedEx 
)
If you have 5 weeks minimum, I would say go for it, but it is a little pricey. (ThAnKs BoYs (Vex) ) The shipping is 20 USD! (Thanks again, FedEx)
Overall, your mentor has the final say.
If the kit is not backordered right now, I think it should deliver in around a week in the U.S. Based on where you guys are located, there could be a delay. If you cannot get the pneumatics in time or something, If you have motors that do not exceed the limit you could substitute pneumatics with motors (I’ve seen that for the 180-mech claws)
We arer in Indiana and we hav consistiently received our vex orders in 3-4 days.
@pulse, what do you need reccomendations for? Buying pneumatics? Building a robot?
We are located in Turkey but my friend says it will only take 1-2 weeks. Honestly I don’t think buying the kit makes sense right now since we wasted the opportunity to buy pneumatics earlier when we were building our Huey. Also, as i am the main driver I will need to adapt to the new robot. Our current robot is still a Huey (laziness, you know 
). One more thing, it would be near impossible but I have an idea to sacrifice one of our midterm holiday days to build the robot. Things are not so brief right now, so I will talk to my teacher tomorrow. (We have a robotics lesson which means we are working for 40 minutes, hooray 
Yup, it isn’t quite important right now honestly,
My mentor (teacher) thinks we don’t need pneumatics, but things will settle tomorrow.
If we should buy the pneumatics kit or not.
i would talk with your programmers to see if they are behind on anything else and will be prepared to code pneumatics or not otherwise you should get it.
Thank you for your recommendation! Actually, we are going to get pneumatics this summer but there won’t be school by then. So we will get them next year.
I don’t have any recommendations but good luck to your team!
Thank you very much! I appreciate that.
