Their costs must be accounted for explained in Section 8.3.4.3 Additional Parts - Cost Limits and Accounting.
- A pressure transducer may be used as long as it is rated to the operating air pressure at its mounting point in the pneumatic system.
- For the purposes of the FIRST competition, a device that creates a vacuum is not considered to be a pneumatic device and is allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, Venturi-type vacuum generators and off-the-shelf vacuum devices (as long as they are powered by one of the Kit-of-Parts motors).
- For the purposes of the FIRST competition, closed-loop pneumatic (gas) shocks are not considered pneumatic devices, and are permitted additions to the ROBOT.
- Additional pressure relief valves, as needed, as long as they are identical to those supplied in the Kit Of Parts (Parker Part Number PV609-2).
- Additional 1/8 inch diameter pneumatic tubing functionally equivalent to that provided in the Kit Of Parts, with the pressure rating clearly factory-printed on the exterior of the tubing (note: alternate tubing colors are acceptable).

This rule lists all the acceptable pneumatics that may be added to the robot besides those in the kit. Note the last bullet -
1/8 inch diameter pneumatic tubing
functionally equivalent to that provided in the Kit of Parts. Larger diameter tube is not allowed because it is not on this list.
