The only pneumatic system items permitted on 2012 FRC Robots include the items listed below.
A. Items listed in the 2012 KOP Checklist or available via FIRST Choice.
B. Pneumatic pressure vent plug valves functionally equivalent to those provided in the KOP.
C. Solenoid valves with a maximum ? in. NPT port diameter, and a maximum Cv of 0.32 (if non-KOP valves
are used, the team will be required to provide part documentation validating that the valves meet these
constraints).
D. Solenoid valves that are rated for a maximum working pressure that is less than 125 psi rating mandated
above are permitted, however if employed, an additional pressure relief valve must be added to the low
pressure side of the main regulator. The additional relief valve must be set to a lower pressure than the
maximum pressure rating for the solenoid valve.
E. Additional pneumatic tubing, with a maximum 0.160 in inside diameter, functionally equivalent to that
provided in the KOP, with the pressure rating clearly factory-printed on the exterior of the tubing or with
supplier documentation showing the pressure rating.
F. Pressure transducers, pressure gauges, and connecting fittings,
G. Pressure regulators with a maximum bypass pressure of no more than 60 psi,
H. Pneumatic cylinders,
I. Pneumatic storage tanks, and
J. Compressors compliant with Rule [R73].
That's the best (and only!) list of allowed pneumatic components you'll find!
