Re: Off-board relief question

I'm not sure that the requirement for the relief valve wasn't in the rules last year. Note that this is only for teams using the compressor to pre-pressurize the robot before the match, not teams that have the compressor on board the robot.

What caught my attention, however, was this:

Quote:
____ High-Pressure Regulator - must include an on-robot 120PSI max setting) regulator and visible gauge immediately downstream of the compressor and 125PSI relief valve.
This is definitely different from previous years and, as far as I can tell, is not required in the rule book. Likely a typo and should refer to the 120psi pressure switch, but I would hate to see an inspector asking why we only have one (60psi) regulator on the robot.

Probably needs a Q&A if it isn't revised shortly.

Thanks for pointing out that the inspection checklist has been published... or at least Rev. A has!
