what bore to go for?

And I tought I had Korsakov....

i used a 100x180mm cylinder in Turbulence running 16bar and it worked petty well...same setup as shown by mario but i used a second regulator to reduce the pressure on the down stroke to 8bar.

Matthew, you're an idiot. That is all.

I'm on Matt's side! I read pretty much every Pneumatics related post on this forum and still I'm pretty clueless as to how it works. That could in part be because I'm not making an Pneumatic bot so not bothering to absorb the info, but things like why in the photo there are 4 pipes going to cylinder only confuse me further.........

I was only asking a question about bore size, I understand all the pneumatic set up etc, I was just unsure of how large I needed to go

[PJ-27]

Oh fine! Bail out on me why don't you!

Now I'm left looking like the idiot. I changed my mind, I'm with you Jonny.

PJ, trust me, it's much easier to follow when you've got at least some pneumatic bits in your hands!
I too have read almost every pneumatic-related post over the years and not taken much in (mainly because I had no interest in building one) but when I got my hands on some parts, I re-read a few of the threads and things became much clearer! There are still a few questions I'll have when I get round to assembling my pneumatics, so I'm planning on putting them all in one thread and keeping things concise, so hopefully it should make things easier to follow in future

Wasn't talking about you PJ, but you can side with who ever, I take the opinion of I'll ask as long as I need to understand something

[harry hills]

i just ignore boring noomatiks( :P ) and hope it goes away

[PJ-27]

Haha, I'm just winding you up Matt.

@ Jamie I can imagine that is very true, I'm very much a learner by doing. What Pneumatic plans have you got? I know a while back you mentioned naming an Axe bot. I only remember because you wanted to name it after something from LOTR, the Grond!
