Who doesn't?I have read through a lot of the old threads but am still left with some questions.
Like in combustion engines, bore and stroke are what make up the volume in a cylinder.I still don't understand what the stroke and the bore mean?
Stroke is the distance the piston can travel. Bore is the diameter of the piston (and that is the same as the bore -minus a few 100th of a mm- of the cylinder it travels in). Diameter dictates the surface area. In case of a normal cylinder that is Radius (half diameter) * Radius * Pi (3.14 to be fast).
Surface of piston in cm² * pressure in bar = force in kg.
Several websites qualify in that respect.Also I remember seeing a link to a great website on pneumatics in combat robotics but I can't find the link, does anyone know what it was?
But for Robot Wars, I have posted these in the past

Hannibalito III uses a Full Pressure setup, Cutlet/Gravity style with 12 oz main bottle and a buffertank, still we achive 15 flips or better. Amount of flips depends on stored CO2 and volume of cylinder.I was also wondering if you really need a buffer tank because due to my design i can only fit in either 1 main tank and 1 buffertank or 2 main tanks which i think i will need to get plenty of flips(i am thinking of
Using p16oz paint ball gun bottles)
I doubt that there is any feather using 32oz CO2.
An option is to use a 16 or 20 oz main bottle and a reasonable buffertank. I aim for 3 times cylindervolume in the buffertank.
Please do.I am sure that more questions will follow soon but thanks for now.
