Re: FIRST air cannon robots PVC??
It's not that PVC can not handle the pressure, it's what happens when it fails. There is at least one plastic air pipe system on the market that is rated for air. A local automotive shop used PVC pipe for air and it failed. The shrapnel pattern was scary. Do not use PVC for pressurized gasses.
