Very nice design. I don't have access to old style pneumatic cylinders, but
was thinking of doing something similar with the new double acting
cylinders. Because I don't have a check valve in the new pneumatics that
would allow me to store vacuum, I would have to change the design a bit though.
My idea was to use suction cups as you did. The suction cups would be
attached via a hose to the bottom (retract) side of one of the new large
cylinders. To generate suction my contraption would lightly press the cup
against the glass, and then extend the cylinder. I am thinking that I would
need one cylinder per suction cup. This is based (very) roughly on your
statement about getting 6 steps from one charge of the two air tanks.
What do you think? Does it sound feasable at all? And how did you attach
your suction cups to the LEGO?
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
