[brushlessboy16]

So Mike (eovnu87435ds) and I are making a Robotic bed for our schools play "A christmas carol" for the scene where scrooge is being visited by the ghost and the bed jumps around..

So we spend the day testing pneumatic actuators to see what certain ones were capable of to lift the bed and person on top of it.. We ended up with high volume 1-2in diameter 12in stroke units. they suck up alot of air! So we needed as much air capacity as we could possibly get. We went scrounging through our robotics teams Supply room and found every air tank we could find.. 4 compressors and a crapload of fittings and teflon tape.. This is what we came up with









Scared the pants off the band kids when we rolled it by..
