Just Reading though this, it seems that the ones with the 2" bore will get a greater force than the smaller ones. Which sizes were we testing on Saturday?

I think tbey were testing the 2" cylinders. From what Dan and the other adult said, the small diameter cylinders will extend faster with more push. IDK.

You should've got this email:

We have an order for pneumatic cylinders. We went to bimba.com and picked out the configurations available on the page where they provide cylinders for FIRST teams for free. I believe that we can get 3 cylinders for free, so the order below should come free of charge.

Mr. Dan and I determined that if we can ones with the following configurations:
3/4" Bore & 4" Stroke
3/4" Bore & 6" Stroke
1-1/16" Bore & 4" Stroke

On the free parts you'll have to set the configurations by hand. You can set their configurations on this page and place the order right there itself.

Let me know if you have any questions,
Sunny

Yes, I believe I CCed you in the email that I sent to Mrs. Strain. Mr. Dan also believed that he said that it'd be best to take advantage of the 3 free cylinders and order some that we can experiment with.
