limit to the bore of cylinders?

hey, so i'm really interested in trying out 1inch bore cylinders for my robot, but i was wondering if FIRST only allows us to use 3/4, 1-1/2, 2 inch bores, which we can order 3 of for free from Bimba.

Also, what is the stroke?

Re: limit to the bore of cylinders?

If you read the manual, there is a whole section on pneumatic rules. Specifically rule R99:

Quote:

<R99> There is no limit to the number of solenoid valves, air cylinders, pressure regulators, and connecting fittings you may use on your robot. They must, however, be “off the shelf” pneumatic devices rated by their manufacturers for pressure of at least 125psi. Besides the “free” pneumatic components listed on the Pneumatic Components Order form, you may purchase additional air cylinders or rotary actuators, however, they must be identical to those listed on the Pneumatic Components Order form (i.e. same part numbers), and obtained from a Bimba or Parker Hannifan distributor.

Therefore, if 1" cylinders are not on the Order Form, you cannot use them.
