I may be able to attend ;D, what would be more powerful Lego Pneumatics or the one on Technobots? (25mm stroke)

[jonny]

you'd need a different tank to use 100 psi and you'd have to modify switch and ram yourself. but yes they should work.

Could you tell me if there are any sets that do 100psi pneumatics like them and where to get them.

[jonny]

easiest thing to do is use a different tank (eg deoderant can, breath freshner) and just modify the pneumatics yourself. i could sell you some un modified pneumatics if you want. guides on how to modify can be found at:

How do you use the tank from a deodrant can do you leave the contents in or take it out? if you take it out how do you put/make an end for it?

[jonny]

spray out contents, drill hole in for fill valve and another hole to go to system
