This is P-O'd Gerbil.  At last, another CO2 pneumatic running bot.  This bot is an upscaled version of Little Bite of Death.  This bot uses a 1-1/2" bore air cylinder for the flipping arm.  It also has on board, a low pressure air reservoir that contains twice the volume of the air cylinder. This should give some mighty fine action.

This is the MURC RMRS pic.  I have some finishing to do yet. The flipping arm wasn't ready yet and was rushed done.

Here is the intial plumbing for the bot.
