Re: Funny Video: Use of pump
I don't think this set up would be allowed in competition since it wouldn't be at 60psi. We set up the vacuum and it is powerful but it pretty much requires the compressor to be running constantly. It doesn't always pick rings up on the seams. Also keep in mind that while it is very strong, the suction is broken if you touch the area near it. This might be a problem if a defending robots hits the tube or if you miss align and hit part of the spider legs.
