Re: COTS Closed loop systems

It's NOT COTS, whatever else it may be.

Which means that you're going to have to ask the GDC if a closed-loop gas system that isn't COTS is also not a pneumatic item, even if built from pneumatic parts.


I've got a feeling that the answer will end up being "no".


Technically, as well, there's an issue: Leak-proofing. With that tubing, you're probably going to have a few leaks.
