The ram looks very much like a lego one, but I seem to remember you saying it was something else. What's different between the one you're using and lego ones?

It's a Fischertechnik one, very similar dimensions I believe.

It is indeed a Fischertechnik cylinder, I run almost the same setup in Inertiant (that and a RS valve) just typical that as soon as I have mine working in battle, someone comes along and blows it out of the water. Very impressed, very jealous.

I have got a pneumatic crusher coming hopefully for the last AWS of the year (it's an idea I've had for at least the last five years, but now I actually have some decent rams and access to (a friend with) the necessary machine tools to get it done...). I just need to make sure I don't drive it onto that thing XD

is a pneumatic robot much more difficult and expensive to build than a normal one?

While it's no more expensive, it's definitely more difficult and there is also an element of danger to be considered. As you saw in my thread when I was building Flux, pneumatic components can fail with explosive results. If it's not something you have any experience with, definitely seek help from people that do before pressurising anything.
