OK, so now it is completely unambiguous. The rules make it clear that Parker cylinders from prior KOPs are permitted (as long as they are of legal sizes, etc.) and FIRST has made it clear that their intent was for Parker cylinders to be legal. The manual and the intent are consistent. Q.E.D. So can we just get over this inane lawyering of the rules and get back to building robots?
