Re: Vacuum Suction Cup Rules

I'm not sure if these two rules answer my own questions, but here they are:

[/quote]
<R100> If pneumatics are used on the ROBOT, the pneumatic system on the ROBOT must contain
as a minimum the following components, connected in accordance with this section.
- Pressure gauges to display the "working" and "stored" air pressure.
- An easily visible and accessible pressure vent valve to manually relieve the stored pressure.
...

<R104> "Working" air pressure on the ROBOT must be no greater than 60psi. All working air must
come from the Norgen adjustable pressure regulator, and all other pneumatic components
must be downstream from this regulator. A pressure gauge must be placed adjacent to the
pressure regulator and display the downstream pressure.[/quote]


So that means we can just have our compressor, with the Narogen pressure regulator, some (or one) pressure gauge(s), and the pressure vent valve, and the Piab suction cups with generators attached directly, right?
