Thanks for all of the responses!I just found out that I have access to a compressor that will allow me to control the output pressure. My plan is to hook the compressor to a manifold that gives me 6ish outputs and then have each output go into a solenoid. Each "prey track" will be connected to the air supply on both ends so with the solenoid, I can have the "prey" (stuffed animal) go down the tubing in both directions. Then I'll have three "prey tracks" which will use all 6 outputs and allow me to vary the location of the chase. I apologize if I did a poor job of explaining all of that.
I have zero plumbing experience unfortunately so I'm totally winging it. Here's the pipe I'm looking at:
That, as you can see is "tubing" not "pipe". I have used the smaller diameters for air in various pieces of equipment. It is very durable and may be purchased with fibers molded in to give it more strength and will work with higher air pressures.
If you plan to lay it on the ground, it will work for your project. Otherwise it will sag from every support point. Similar to using a garden hose.
