I assume that this is not for an antweight, as they are extremely heavy and difficult to use in ants.

What kind of pressure are you looking for?

I have looked into antweight sized hydraulics but nothing bigger for robot use. The 2 issues with antweight sized is that i couldn't find a pump that could produce reasonable pressure. If you made one that could the second issue is the pressure limits, antweights only allow 100psi so you would need a very large bore ram.

What sort of size are you looking to make the 'digger'?

There are a few RC hydraulics specialist for RC construction equipment.Most of them are German and the prices are very steep. The realism and function is equally impressive.

Its not for antweights but its not for battling either. Just a project i would like to do. It would fit into about a 50 cm cube at least, made out of metal. I have no experience with this so would need alot of help
