Does anyone have a link to the 2015 manual (or this specific set of rules)? I've been looking all over for it but FIRSTs new website has broken every old link and made stuff like this impossible to find.

EDIT: Nevermind, finally found it after like 30 minutes of digging.

If the main regulator is restricted to 60PSI, isn't a secondary regulator a bit redundant (or is that the idea)? I could see if the maximum pressure was less than 60PSI it would make sense, but otherwise it just seems silly IMO. Either way, I chalk this up to yet another ridiculous pneumatic rule (much like the huge debate about using an off-board compressor to pre-charge a bot with an on-board compressor a few months back).
