Re: Mulit-postioning with pnuematics this year?

[quote=Mr. Ivey]Unfortunately the multi-positioning solenoids are illegal accoring to the flow chart.
Rule 54 clearly states "There is no limit to the number of solenoid valves, air cylinders, and connecting fittings you may use on your robot. They must, however, be “off the shelf” pneumatic devices rated by their manufacturers for pressure of at least 125psi." The flow chart also says.
Is it an air cylinder ordered
from the Custom Cylinder
Order Form or any previous
year’s pneumatic component
except storage tanks,
pressure switches or
pressure regulators

The except and the logic structure is very confusing, So hopefully the inspectors will go with the clear wording of <R54> and not the confusing flow, of the flow chart.
Chears
[Edit] Checking the updates (10) there is an updated flow chart rev A 2/12/2004 that is easer to understand and indicates; That off the shelf and 125 psi are a YES.
Thanks.
