    What are the speed specs of the actuators and how are they controlled?

    Interesting project!
    How do you intent to control the speed of those hydraulics? By pump rotational speed? or proportional valves?
    Might be overkill but i'd say 2 pumps (one for each cylinder) would give you the greatest and easiest control right?

    Edit:
    Then again it seems like he abandoned the project...
    Sorry for the useless post..
