Re: "The Little Things" - Helpful hints for all
Use two different colors of pneumatic tubing. One color for the port responsible for extending the piston and another color for the retraction port. That way it's easy to trace the tubing and make repairs. I really wish we had done this on our 2013 bot, we replaced our shooter at our third regional and it probably took an extra 15 minutes to redo the plumbing because all the tubing was red.
