Re: Pneumatic's Rules confusion
As an inspector at one of last years regionals, I would reject a pneumatic installation that used extra length of tubing for the purpose of added storage volume to the system (See <R87>). If an air cylinder is placed on the robot only for the purpose of storing more air (no electrical connection, output shaft not connected) that would also violate rule <R87>.
Teams that place air cylinders on their robots that look functional but are there only to increase the volume violate the FIRST CREDO of GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM.
