Re: Locking gas springs - legal?

Until this Q&A I would have said that would be legal. But with the Q&A the GDC says maybe not.

Quote:
Q. R35 allows for "closed-loop COTS pneumatic (gas) shocks" on the robot. Would a closed-loop "gas spring" that contains oil within its sealed housing meet the requirement of R35 and not violate the R9 ban on hydraulic fluid?

A. No, a shock containing oil, other than minuscule amounts for lubrication, is not considered a pneumatic shock.
