    Re: springless pneumatic pump —Tom Heverly
   Yea, I kinda figured the big punp wasn't too good for the compresor pump. I did see that on your page, but I figured I'd try it anyhow.

   (...) Agreed... Large pumps suck at being motorized. But has anyone ever tried mounting one to a piston-like assembly? Maybe something that pushes and pulls it much like a human hand would. I have been wondering for a while if this would be better (...) (24 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
