The pneumatic fittings have been more or less the same for, well, forever, in the Kit of Parts. Even though we've used pneumatics on at seven of our nine robots, we have tons of left over fittings every year, and we've never had to worry about purchasing additional quantities of the parts provided in the KoP. Plus, there's nothing illegal about using fittings from previous years as they are simply COTS items that aren't restricted by any other rules.

(Although one fitting that I wish FIRST provided in the KoP are the plastic female-female 1/4" tubing connectors; our team purchased several of them this year.)
