I am considering to build and axe robot i was wondering what mechanism to choose . I know there is pneumatic ones but could that be in corparated in a featherweight?

Its certainly possible, and I think its been done. The main issue I can see is whether youd have enough weight left over for a nice heavy axe head.
The other common option is an electric one.
Blue (from the big nipper team) is a pneumatic axe. it uses a rack n pinion system (same as thor and THz). It currently runs off a compressor, but there were talks about it going to CO2. I have considered building an axe, but i decided to stick with the flippers.
There is a co2 axe being made by Wayne cummings. called Basher. its got a revolutionary design like no other axe. its also 16 bar which will make it the most powerfull axe around. Rc Wars have produced an electric axe and boy is it good. its debue will be at the Rc Wars Championships
Our Project One had a CO2 powered axe (and flipper). Mario had a nice system for it, I think its called an actuator. Youll have to ask him for details though.
Rotary actuator to be exact. Very easy.
HOW DOES THE ROTARY ONE WORK?
WOULD A WINDOW WIPER MOTOR AT 24V WORK ?
A rotary actuator is a kind of pneumatical cylinder , but not with a rod that has a linear motion, but with an axle that turns a certain amount of °
How does it work, You put on air on one side and the axle turns, and visa versa.

Thats like asking how long is a piece of string.
There are so many different ways a ww motor could be used so the answer is maybe.
Also please there is no need for caps.
