Advice on CO2 bottle
The CO2 filling issue is easy. Or you fill the bottle at the event, or at home from a storage bottle.
If the size is useable depends on the use. Some feathers can use the 12 or even 9 oz bottles.
In Hannibalito I or II we use the 12 oz bottle.

Advice on CO2 bottle
The size of the bottle you will want depends on the ammount of gas your flipper will use/need.
Paintball bottles come in many sizes from 3.5oz all the way thro to 24oz.

How big is your ram, Daniel? What pressure will you use?
-
Advice on CO2 bottle
The ram has a 16cm stroke and a 2cm bore,(pic in profile) this is my first try at making a robot so im unsure as to what pressure would suit best, any advice would be very helpful.

Advice on CO2 bottle
Pressure ratings are usually 10 bar.
You have a ram ...
Youll need a buffer tank together with a 5/2 or 3/2 valve (double acting OR single acting cylinder ) all rated @ 10 bar or more to go with your co2 cylinder,regulator and pressure relief valves one High pressure ( 1000psi) and one low pressure.
Make a weight guesstimatiion before buying everything .....you may find it difficult to get down to the 12kg limit.
