Re: Tips from a veteran Robot Inspector

Has anyone put together a simple diagram of the preferred (i.e. inspection-acceptable) pneumatics configuration if one is using an off-board compressor? We are in weight-cutting mode, so every 1/4 ounce counts, but I don't want to get to inspection and be required to add back a bunch of regulators and heavy brass connectors.

I have read the Inspection Checklist and searched on CD, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive description of what will or will not be accepted, especially with regard to compressor power path, vent valve locations, and extra valves for safety while transporting the robot with an air charge.

Any clarity would be much appreciated. And a picture is worth > 1000 words.
