What was the reasoning behind the 90 degree air fittings? Why not just run tubing and eliminate a potential leak point?

The o-rings in those are really only good once or twice and then you are asking for a slow leak. If you do want to keep them, make sure that you insert your tubing all the way and then pull gently to seat the barbs into the tubing. And every time you remove the tubing you should cut the old end off to give new material for the barbs to bite into.

That looks nice!

I was wondering how the pink battery connector was working for you guys? I've heard some teams say that they stick a bit more then the ones we are used to. My team hasn't used them this year, and I was just wondering whether or not it was an issue for you guys at all.

From our experience they are quite tight and can create some struggle for the smaller students. :yikes:

Though I'd rather have that then it disconnecting at a most inopportune time.

Good luck this year!

Thank you!

We've had no issues with the pink connecters (no more so than new red connectors, which I always have trouble with anyway).
