Seminar 3: Pneumatics

Im really pleased to announce Kane Aston will be performing a seminar about pneumatics. Kane's experience & knowledge of pneumatics is up there with the very best. Having succeeded with Behemoth both on TV and for many years after, Kanes reliable and effective engineering methods and pneumatic secrets have propelled veteran robot Behemoth through the competition.

This seminar hopes to assist in 2 ways. For people who are either complete beginners or novice teams that would like to take the set up to producing their first pneumatic robot both reliably and safely. We also want to assist veteran teams who have been using pneumatics for some time. Kane has a wealth of knowledge to help teams truly understand how to get the most out of their pneumatics and how to do it reliably as well as giving us some insider info on how Behemoth has stood the test of time so reliably.

On Sunday we will also be doing a CO2 refill session for those wanting to make the step up to high pressure pneumatics.

I am very much looking forward to hearing what Kane has to say and hope his information proves valuble to both beginners and veterans alike.

More information on its way.
