Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?

Well, you did say that modifying the PDB wasn't against the rules... At least, that was the impression I got, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who got that. IRI rules, it might not be illegal. FRC standard rules, it would be--and if we aren't getting another PDB next year in the KOP, then you'd have to get it yourself.

Actually, if the pneumatics mentioned aren't used much (and the total Clippard allowance wasn't used), the offboard compressor rule could be invoked. The 5-lb. "fudge factor" is more than 2-3 Clippard tanks, IIRC.

Could some motor functions be combined or reduced in duration? That would save some headache.
