Just curious what the CD brain trust thinks of the idea -- and whether it is a legitimate method of interfacing with pneumatics components. The rules don't seem to outlaw it, but pneumatics have always been something of a sacred cow and so I'm nervous about pushing the envelope too much.

In short -- we'd like to vary the force a pneumatic actuator exerts by varying its operating pressure. In order to do that, we're imagining that we'll mechanically drive a pressure regulator. There'll still be a 60psi regulator as required, but this secondary regulator will allow us to reduce the working pressure to one or more actuators dynamically.

Thoughts on its legality? Has anyone tried this before? Are we insane? Yes is an okay answer.
