If there is anything running on your bot before the match begins (before FIRST enables the controllers) your bot will be disqualified.
You cant jury rig the wiring to bypass the intent of the judges match Start/Stop switch.
If you did this, you could also have motors and other actuators running before or after the 2 minute period.
Keeping your tanks full before the match is part of the challenge. make sure all your fitting have teflon tape properly used - all fitting are good and snug (the BIG grey solonide requires you to use a Hex wrench inside the fitting to tighten it)
and make sure all your hoses are pushed in, then pull them out firmly to seat them.
If your pnumatics leak then your bot is not properly assembled - you cant play well will a poorly assembled bot
if you are going to break the rules, you might as well break all of them, right?
