Air compressors are used in robotics competitions to demonstrate how pneumatic power can work in automatic, pre-programmed, moving devices. You can use compressed air to move robotic arms and legs at measured lengths. The best compressor for robotics competition events is generally a small, portable reciprocating model. Another benefit of compressed air is that you can easily replace […]
