Tobas, I can say that Bert's page is a treasure chest for ideas on how to use
pneumatics with mindstorms. I've got a Coal Unloader that uses 5 pn.
cylinders, and a motor, to unload coal. (it works, when the program is
right...) See his page to see how to use 2 motors to split to many outputs (on
the order of 15+ if you have the length to do so).
If you want another motor, I can get them for ~$30 Canadian, with a battery
box, and short wire (from the Spider Slayer)
