  --Are you referring to the ones that Festo sells? A pal of mine used one in a lightweight battlebot, to run a flipper. I have to say the effect was less than impressive. The main "advantage" for our team was that they gave us the stuff for free as they were one of our team sponsors. The thing works, but the application you have in mind needs to be clearly defined and within the limitations of the device. What were you thinking of using it for?
