Re: Air Cylinders
Summarizing:
Pretty much any pneumatic cylinder from any vendor which is rated for 120 psi is legal. The CTRE PCM is available from both AM and Vex (and possibly others). The compressor may be sourced or manufactured anywhere, though it has a maximum flow rate and minimum working pressure requirement. Solenoid valves and most of the other pneumatic components may be sourced from just about anywhere, as long as they meet the working pressure limits and (in the case of solenoid valves) the port size limits. A specific relief valve is recommended but not required; do the inspectors and yourself a favor and use it. Make sure your pressure regulator is a "relieving" design, that is, that if high pressure is generated on the cylinder side of the regulator, it will vent the excess air to the atmosphere.
