<R36> Additional Parts must be generally available from suppliers such that any other FIRST team, if it so desires, may also obtain them at the same price...

Our parts are NOT on the NOT allowed list, and nowhere have we found, to our knowledge, that we needed to use only the parts on from the kit. As long as it is not "hazardous" or otherwise deemed illegal, and it is a COTS part, we see it as perfectly and legitimately legal. A coiled tube is NOT banned from the pneumatics manual or anywhere else. Hope this clarifies any issues.

And our 25 inch cylinders--in case anyone was wondering--are from Parker-Hannifin. "additional cylinders can also be purchased through a Bimba or Parker-Hannifin Distributor." We got ours from Parker, so they are perfectly legal.
