Re: Are custom stroke pneumatics considered "COTS"?
hold on a sec. so according to the Bimba free parts order form they don't offer a 5" stoke in a 1.5" bore. We ordered that same piston from a local supplier so does that make it non-COT? I would be hard pressed to look at these rules and say that a piston of any length would not be considered COT.

According to these rules, my Banebots 9:1 trannies are non-COT because it is going to take them 2 weeks to get to me. They deem 5 days is reasonable.

I think we need to apply a bit of common sense to these rules folks.

BTW: Bill is that an eye bolt attached to that upper clevis?

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
