Not necessarily. If they're compressing in a rotating series, your output at
any given moment is much smaller than if they were going off all at the same
time, and the more positions you can get in the series, the steadier your stream
of compressed air will be. You could also borrow a trick from electricians, and
run a compressor at both ends of a single pneumatic system (maybe even run some
in the middle as well) so you can keep the pressure maximized easier without
giving it any major bottlenecks. If everything pumps in at one end, the system
doesn't work properly until the air pressure can force its way through the
entire line. If you've got air pumping in from multiple points along the line,
any cylinder that's actuating could have airflow coming in from either direction
(or both), depending on what other cylinders are being actuated at the same
time.

| Are you going to make sure that all your control logic is done with small pistons? That would seem to save a lot of air, and thus perhaps also speed the system up quite a bit. (20 years ago, 2-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic)
