Fully automatic - needs only an air supply.  Uses two small cylinders and two
switches.  Roughly 9x9x12 studs in size.  I found the small cylinders quite
tricky to work with, and a few compromises were necessary to get it down to this
size.  Nevertheless, it does work, just!

So - who can produce a smaller one...!?
cheers, Alexander

Great job Alexander!

I have a biped that is close:

I guess I'd better get to work and make it smaller.
