Before I work on this, though, I figured I'd ask... has anyone • done anything
like this before?

I tried to have my Raptor puppet set up with Pneumatics but I
gave up because I
couldn't find a decent way of triggering it. The ways I had it
were way to slow and
painful.

Has anyone come up with a great way of using pneumatics with
Mindstorms? Did the
fishertecknic values ever come to be?

I know this only works with pbForth, and it's not ALL Technic,
but you can drive standard servos with the RCX. Here's how:

You can even drive pneumatic switches with the servos...
