So whoever knows about the cyberamic characters tell me what PTT and CEC does to avoid moisture and water from going into the cylinders. The last time I worked with these characters I had 3 filters and then each character has a filter but water still made it into my characters, thus causing some failure...so what is supposed to be used?

You need to get a dryer. I bought one new for $675 at www.buydryair.com

thanks, I knew the rockafire used one but was unsure about PTT...this explains why there was so much water on the show and the air powered games...was a big mess.
Next question, since I am only running a character stage without any games what size air compressor (tank) will I need for cyber bots?

For the cyberamics bots a single 80 gallon compressor will do just fine. You need a dryer for any pneumatic equipment. Its not a deal for tools but if you are running any thing like a show or games that use air such as wac-a-mole or skee ball you should always have a dryer on the system and probably a water seperator as well. The cyberamic bots use far less air than the Rock-afire Explosion do. If you are interested, I have a manifold block that goes to the RAE with 9 outlets on it and 2 water seperators. I changed the nozzles on mine to quick disconnects so I can unplug the characters. I would not set the pressure any higher than 60 on the cyberamic bots as the airlines will blow loose if you do.

Yeah, the cyber bots ran really nicely at 60 psi. Don't skimp on the hose/tubing and the connectors. It's worth it for reduced repairs and down time later on.

awesome, it's great that captslappy and menutia know so much about these cyber bots...we need to start getting extra eye lids and irises on hand for spare parts as those are the only things I think we can never find elsewhere...I have thought about going after a few franchised locations of CEC and paying either the owner or the mgr under the table to purchase some for us, though there aren't that many 'getto' CEC stores or franchisees left...menutia, it will be cool to meet you hopefully this week and bring out that Helen to you and see all of your cool stuff!
