As Dave said compressors are allowed and you can fit a buffer tank as long as it can clearly take the pressure being supplied by the compressor. A long coil of pipe can give similar results for a lower cost but a tank is still preferable. Heres a couple of tips which I have found useful when trying ...

you could use a compressor with the rams you have. Technobots have a couple of push fit valves which you could control with a servo which would operate the rams. However, a system like this is not going to make a briiliant flipper, it will probably have a very low flow rate and will be more of a lif...

We also used 5mm HDPE covers on Aftershock which have been we...

Antweight Clones
I was just wondering, how many heavyweight clones have there been over the years.
Currently I think there are only 2 running, Ant Awe and Baby Tilly.
