: As far as I know, you can't use pneumatic parts from SPI either, though I can't quote a rule without spending time researching it.

Joe's right about the fact that you cannot make any other pneumatic device. We've wanted to make PVC cylinders for years!

I'm sure that we can use the pneumatic fittings from Small Parts. We've used them in the past, and we'll probably be using them again this year. I suggest using the plastic barb fittings where you can. They are small and have almost no weight.

Make the pneumatic circuit as the catalog says to do... it only takes you a few hours, and you'll get to know how these pneumatics work.

ps... you can all blame us for the restriction about not making any of your own compressed air products. In '92, we made our own air pump and shot a tennis-ball-grabber across the field with enough energy to scare FIRST. In '93, we could not make anything that contained or produced compressed air.
