Question to team 45 on the mounting of the air shifter:

It looks like you have screwed into the end of the cylinder that contains larger threads and the pin. Is this cleared somewhere in the rules? When we were going to do the same thing our interpretation of this rule


M16 Pneumatic components supplied in the Kit (pump, regulators, pressure switches,
cylinders, valves, fittings, tubing, etc.) may not be modified except as follows:
· Tubing may be cut.
· The wiring for the valves and pressure switch may be modified as necessary to
interface with the rest of the control system.
· Mounting and connecting pneumatics components using the pre-existing
threads, mounting brackets, etc., is not considered a modification of the
components.


Seemed like drilling and tapping into the end of the cylinder was considered a modification. Just wondered if there was an update I don't know about.
