RE: New Diagrams of Basic Pneumatics Parts and Circuits

The drawings are FABULOUS!  Great work.  I have a question:  I am
looking to build a lego compressor that would be strong enough to move a
quad or sextuple bot with the RCX.  We have tried a few with no luck -
never produces sufficient air or pressure.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Subject: New Diagrams of Basic Pneumatics Parts and Circuits

I've just uploaded some new pneumatics diagrams, the sort that could
guide
people towards the complex systems we've been discussing in .technic:

All were originally drawn in Visio.  The circuits themselves are all
ones used
in official sets, the last one only in the crane truck 8868 alternative
refuse
truck model.  That was the model that started off the pneumatic robots
and
circuits concept in 1991, showing that cylinders could drive valve
switches.

Hopefully these deep links should work immediately.
