Alternative Pneumatic Systems
Fischertechnik offers a similar pneumatics system for robotic and control technology hobbyists. The Fischertechnik system includes an electrically activated air solenoid, a feature not available in the Lego range.
A number of hobbyists have also constructed additional components such as larger air tanks and solenoids to complement the standard Lego pneumatic components.

Famous quotes containing the words alternative, pneumatic and/or systems:
“No alternative to the
one-man path.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Uncorseted, her friendly bust
Gives promise of pneumatic bliss.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
