Sorry you feel that you were attacked, but I don't see any harsh responses. What I do see is that you asked a question, then challenged the answer that you got. How do you expect people to react? Besides, the rules CLEARLY state that you can only use pneumatic parts included in the kit (except this year you can use a second identical air tank).

<sarcasm ON>
I guess most 16-year-olds probably do know more about strength of materials and pressure vessel design than professional engineers.
<sarcasm OFF>

Good luck this year ... and don't hurt yourself
