Re: Team 254 2013 FRC Code

Thanks to team 254 for posting their code. This is very instructional to the mentors as well as our student programmers

I have a number of questions, but a few are quite simple. You have defined a pressureTransducer in your code to read the pneumatic pressure. Where in the system is this transducer located? I ask because we got into some questions on the legality of using any form of transducer on the high pressure side (120psi) of the pneumatics system.

I am also assuming that since you are using the smaller Vlair compressor (as seen on some photos I have seen of the robot) that you are not cycling very much air and therefore the compressor does not have to run very long (and burn out). Is this correct?

Thanks for the great opportunity you are giving other teams to learn from your development.

Enjoy!
