Title: How does "air" consumption work?
Post by: Scorpion on August 15, 2011, 11:14:31 AM: I'm working on a bot in stock that uses pistons when I realised, I have no idea how much air is needed to power one piston, or whether a large air tank is worth using in the first place, or even the difference between servo and burst pistons when it comes to their air consumption.

So does anybody know how it actually works?

Then pistons omnomnom the air upon every fire or movement, I think its constant for each piston (like how Batts take the same regardless of text file stuff) ..

1 airtank to a piston should be more then enough.. if you find your running out before the end of the match with a piston bot, upgrade to larger tanks

Flamethrowers dont apply to this, smallest possible works for Flamethrowers so long as you dont lift your finger off the fire button
