Re: Disabled pressure safety requirements

Here is the rule that applies. You are clearly allowed to pre-charge your air system.
Quote:
R24 Non-electrical sources of energy used by the ROBOT, (i.e., stored at the start of a MATCH), shall come only from the following
sources:
A. compressed air stored in the pneumatic system that has been charged in compliance with R68 and R69,
B. a change in the altitude of the ROBOT center of gravity,
C. storage achieved by deformation of ROBOT parts,
D. closed-loop COTS pneumatic (gas) shocks, and
E. air-filled (pneumatic) wheels.
