Custom pneumatic cylinders
I heard somewhere that teams cannot fabricate their own cylinders for use with the pneumatcs for their robot. Our team wanted to make a cylinder for special purposes using PVC pipe. I looked through the rule book and I was unable to locate any rule that limited pnuematics use to Bimba manufactured cylinders. So are we or are we not allowed to make our own cylinders or even attatch a custom made device to the air tanks that requires air pressure to function?
