Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread 2015

As to labeling, labels for pneumatic parts are allowed under rule R65. I don't know hwat purpose a label would be on a tank, unless you store both high and low pressure air. Labels on hoses are the same as electrical wiring, I would guess.

As to using manual control of valves during robot setup, I would think the GDC has answered that in the Q&A. Safety is a major concern so it appears that powered movement (electrical or pneumatic) is not allowed. Hand tools may be used, but I believe that is all. I would suggest you ask the Q&A a specific question to be sure.

As to the 148 robot and numbering. I could only suggest to the team that they would want to play on Saturday afternoon and for that reason some numbering scheme that identifies them to other teams in the stands would be appropriate. Since they have always made a great robot, numbering seems to be a common task for them. I would expect a inspector would find them numbering each part of the robot.
