Re: Pneumatic Components Order form
The manual says to check the Bimba website for available stroke lengths. There are stroke lengths on Bimba's site that are not on the last page on the pneumatics manual. You can get, for example, a 1712-DP from Bimba's online order form for FIRST teams. They will ship it to you, and you will have paid nothing. I even called them and this is the case. So, if they aren't allowed, FIRST needs to say so very loudly and very quickly, and needs to tell Bimba to stop offering them. Until that happens, I say anything Bimba wil give you through their FIRST team order page is fair game.

They were allowed in previous years. Does that right there make them legal?

On a side note, I have no idea why I cannot post in the official forum (with the username and password given in TIMS). If anyone can help, PM me.
