Re: Calibrate Pressure Switch?

Art,
We are not saying that the team intended to increase pressure, nor are we saying that they would recalibrate the relief valve. Inspectors do need to make interpretations all the time. This is only one of a hundred + that I made this season. A few were... Are tywraps suitable fasteners for springs? Can a team use barbells for ballast? Is a 16 pound mallet legal for a ball shooter? Can I use a leg lamp from the Christmas Story as a kicker? Can I bring in my protobot and my alternate drive base in addition to my bagged robot? Can I use a ratchet wrench as a mechanism for my shooter release device? Can I use an electro magnet that we rewound for use at 12 volts? When I replace the nylon stockings on my leg lamp that are damaged during a match, is that a repair or modification? Can I put this "mini=sun" on my robot to help my vision system? Can I make a 300 volt power supply to power the neon lights our sponsor would like to see on the robot? Can I write my own protocol software, I don't like that which is provided? These are in addition to the questions asked on the Q&A.
