Good point. On the other hand, steel pipe is also on the list... if they felt it was necessary for steel piping in one place, I'd think they'd have steel piping for all the places its necessary. Unless its something crazy like they expect contact with the 3" piping, but less contact than is needed for the 2" piping... I wish I knew.
Either way, I've got a feeling crab drive robots are going to have an advantage this year...
