Re: Pneumatic Tubing Specs
 
Since the AM tubing is on FIRST Choice, I would presume that the GDC at least intends for it to be legal irrespective of a 0.01" diameter difference. The difference could simply be Freelin-Wade rounding a decimal versus AM using calipers and rounding the other way ... or vice-versa.

I've given the Pneumatics workshop in Washington State for the last two years. Here is what I tell all the people who attend my workshops. Never buy pneumatics tubing or brass fittings. Every FRC team gets a lifetime supply of this every year. Find a Vet team in your area and they would give you some for free.

PS That is if the 2012 tube is the same as the 2011-2002

While true, matings (barbs, press to fit connectors, stc) between the tubing and brass fittings have been non existant in the KoP for the last few years.

Oh wow, you are right. I was not paying attention to the kit of parts due to the amount of pneumatics supplies my team has. I now see the need to buy the quick connect fittings. As well as rewrite some of my slides.

Thank you,
