By combining vacuum transistors into AND gates and integrating them directly into the 3D-printed structure, a matrix display of 16 pixels using 8 control lines is controlled. From a single manual pixel to a full matrix that can display numbers, letters and almost play snake, this video is a journey into the complex world of air-powered computing and air powered soft robots.
