Re: Pneumatics rule change

Hi,
Have you looked at the VIAIR website? They have a few compressors that have been dubbed "approved for FRC". But none of them go beyond the .73CFM that the KOP compressor has. A couple of years ago we had a very porous system and actually burned up one of these little compressors at competition (it was our first attempt at pneumatics. Were thinking about using pneumatics to loft the robot in the end game for this years competition and based on calculations, we're going to need 2 - 1.5" cylinders to get the bot up the required 2 ft in time. so we're thinking about getting a beefier compressor. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
