I run a similar set up... have a look at the last post on this page...on this thread there are listed all parts you'll possibly need!

Its quite simple and its relatively cheap to build. The most important thing is to have large bore fittings and short pipework...in my setup I connected the QEV directly to the ram, so losses due to length of pipes are the minimum possible.

Edit: I found a photo of the semi-assembled set-up

That is perfect! Also that 4 bar is basically what I was aiming to make... except its already been done. Well if I can get a 4 bar going it will be the first in the UK.

There's already a LP pneumatic 4 Bar, can't remember who made it. I believe there was also a FP, called Flick or something?

[razerdave]

Yeah, Flick was a HW from the Supernova team.

Not sure there is a pneumatic 4 bar flipper, there's been a few electric ones though. Are you flipping from the front bars or back bars ?

[typhoon_driver]

It was pneumatic

[Eventorizon]

Flipping from the front. I've been examining various setups; Ziggy, Biohazard etc. Now this one from Aus.

I am just not sure what is the best kind of set up on a 4 bar. I downloaded that 4 Bar calculator but it doesn't mean much to me.

[razerdave]

I meant to say no FW pneumatic 4 bar flippers. I know Flick was pneumatic .

[Shakey]

I built one but never actually made it to competition, I have since nicked the parts out of it for other robots.

Hi,
Does anyone know if a 1/2" NPT connector will screw nicely into a co2 nut? Im thinking of buying a hydraulic elbow to go from 1/2" BSP from my paintball bottle to 1/2" NPT. this seems like the easiest thing to do without having to make up an adapter.
Thanks,
Max
