Re: Using pre-charged accumulators

Ken,
The reason I ask is R95 only says I must have the pressure gages to show "working" and "stored" air pressure, and an accessible pressure vent valve to manually relieve the stored pressure. Making the gages read inacurately can be done, and the relief valve in asked for is the parker ball valve that comes with the kit. If I used my manual bicycle pump or car tire compresser I could easily exceed 120 without people noticing as they would think I'm adjusting tire pressue if they even saw me.

I don't want to do something sneaky it just seems to me like a simple rule requiring the pressure relief valve be mounted on the robot when the compressor isn't would prevent me from thinking of things like this.
