Re: Off-board relief question

I've been vindicated (regarding 2 safety relief valves)

Not so lucky on part 2 though -

Regarding the High-Pressure Regulator question - the checklist is wrong and needs to be fixed. Thanks for the catch! The same error actually occurs for the Working-Pressure Regulator checklist item. For starters, there isn't actually any need for a 120PSI regulator since it's the switch and relief valve that "regulate" to 120PSI.

I don't have a good excuse for the error. Whoops...

Rule R73 doesn't require that any regulators be present on the robot. Rule R75-D suggests that the Norgren 60PSI regulator may be off-robot and further requires that, if the Norgren regulator is off-robot, then the on-robot accumulators must be limited to 60PSI.

I'll update the checklist (I'm sure that this won't be the first time).

Sorry for any confusion.
