Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread
Bob,
There is no rule that prevents a team from charging pneumatics off the field at this time. I oppose it as an unsafe practice knowing that many teams deploy software while in queue. The chance for a unexpected pneumatic operation while in queue can be disastrous for one of our participants. I know that some venues have imposed some restrictions but there is no universal rule covering this. I would prefer to go with Wayne's quoted rule above and it is the basis for the rules governing 'off board' compressors.
That being said, I believe the use of a second battery pushes the intent of the one battery rule. If the battery is used without Crio control of pneumatics then that is a violation of several rules and an unsafe practice.
