[DampRobot]

This is probably not the right question for this thread, but I didn't want to add to the five bajilion threads created after kickoff.

The manual only allows us (as usual) to have engergy stored in the robot as electrical energy in the batery, change in robot cg, deformation of robot parts, or in the pneumatic system. There is no exception for gas springs.

Would gas springs be disallowed this year? They don't really "deform" (they compress), and I'm not sure the gas inside could qualify as a robot part anyway. I also wouldn't say that they are part of the pnumatic system.

What do you guys think? I hope this gets clarified in the first update...
