Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread

The logic that another battery cannot be used to compress air before a match would imply that you must drain any residual pressure left from a previous match, or drain any pressure left from testing or practice, before you install the battery for the next match. That's just silly. How is charging the air pressure any different than manually cocking a spring or raising a counterweight before a match? Stored energy is allowed. There is no rule that says "all stored energy in a robot must have originated from the battery that is about to be used in competition."
