Re: Gauges and Robot Rules
If one is using a compressor off-board, complete with the two gauges, relief valve, etc., do you need to keep a gauge on the robot?

I'm designing an easy minibot deployment that uses a single solenoid and spring-return cylinder, and not having to include an on-board gauge helps simplify the design. The working pressure is stored in the cylinder itself and released once at the end of the match.

In the opinion of a robot inspector would this pass muster?
