Instead of "I think", how about taking a look at Q&A 129, and making that "I know"? (Yes, you are correct--it's just that "I think" doesn't fly at inspection.)

You're also going to be in violation of R79. Oh, and yes, you DO have a gauge to read it, per R86. 3 potential rules violations, one setup. I'd almost think this was bumpers back in '09...


And no, it's not a closed-loop pneumatic system. For the record, those don't exist in FRC. You CAN use COTS closed-loop gas shocks--those don't count as pneumatics--but the described system is 100% pneumatic, and generally speaking you'd have a hard time getting it to be COTS, with you filling from an offboard compressor, so don't try that approach.
