Re: Pneumatic's Rules confusion
I think this is the idea: You can not use anything that rookie teams do not have access to. This means any 1/2" pistons. (As far as other off the shelf pistons, I'd tend to think that if you can't order it with the FIRST form, it is not legal.

The rules also clearly state that compressed air may only be stored in the two tanks (one from the kit, one available from IFI). This means that coils of tubing, extra large hoses, etc. that exist on the robot in order to store more air are not allowed. This is probably why the 6ft coiled connector hose was not allowed last year.
