On second thought, if this is scrap tubing needed for a project outside of competition, then I really have no idea.

No... Wait.
We are saying that the tubing that come in this years KOP is illegal due to the this post on the Q&A.

No. Any additional tubing used on the Robot must satisfy Rule <R87> and be functionally identical to the tubing provided in the Kit Of Parts. 175 psi tubing would not satisfy this criteria. Furthermore, heat treating the tubing will alter the physical characteristics of the tubing, and again make it dissimilar from the tubing provided in the Kit. Coiled tubing rated for 125psi that is functionally identical to the tubing provided in the Kit Of Parts is available from several commercial sources.

The tubing that came in the this year KOP is rated at 175psi, we are not saying that we are running at that.
So the question is can we use it?
edit: Sorry slow typer.
