Pneumatic Question(s)

[ACEGUY]

Now that I have figured what I am going to do for the drive, I plan on building a FP flipper. I have been studying various sources about pneumatics in combat robots, namely Team Hurtz site and Team DaVinci's Understanding pneumatics.

I have a few questions:

1. What is the general size for a HW CO2 tank?

2. What is the general size for the buffer tank?

3. Where is the best place to buy pneumatic parts?

Most CO2 using heavies use a 2 Kg CO2 fire extinguisher.

This kind of bottle is also in use as buffertank.

Best place to buy pneumatics. Or Aliexpress or www.esska-tech.co.uk

I decided that a spinner won't be for me, I have gone back to my original idea of a flipper.

I do have a question and that is, is it possible to buy co2 fire extinguishers without the top hose attachment?

It probably is possible to buy a bottle without valve, but I guess it's easier to buy one with valve and remove it yourself.
