It is not a bad idea, it would eliminate the freezing problem.

i not using it just to self right, i need it to be a flipper also and a decent one, i may just remove the whole hydralics claws to free up the weight.the main weapon is the flipper

Thats too bad, the reason i was interested in Janus was the hydraulics, not the pnumatics.

Sounds something of a waste

Adrian can you give the pneumatic ram dimensions and the flipper tip height from closed to open.
In general l.p. flippers run two tanks ......main and buffer ....... of approx the same size as you already have installed.. assuming your current tank is a 3 litre scuba or similar.

The combined weight of a main 2kg co2 tank and a 15 bar buffer tank ( both of approx 3 litres volume ) will probably be on a par with your scuba .....so itll be room to squeeze in the extra tank rather than weight being an issue.

The ram looks something like 60mm bore x 300mm stroke?

the main ram body is 60mm thick, and the body length is 300mm, with the flipper open the piston rod as it were itself is 18mm thick and 190mm long, or somewhere round that, hopes this makes sense the hydralics will only be removed if i start having serious weight issues, but i will have to see what happens when its on the scales! also i dont think that room will be an issue on this machine, theirs seems to be amble space around the robot i think,

Your not going to be chucking robots across the arena with a 50ish mm bore ram running @ 10 bar....itll only self right you and turn opponents over.
Beef up the flipper arm and you could run something competative like a 80mm or 100mm bore ram @ 10 bar ......15 bar would be best if you can get / afford the bits.
