Re: adjustable pressure regulator

Control system rules are not my area and I have not studied any changes for this year, but connecting outputs to a device such as an electronic regulator has always been prohibited in the past. We considered this exact same idea last year when looking for ways to vary our pneumatic catapult. The ruling was that the electronic regulator is an electromagnetic actuator just like a solenoid or prohibited servo or motor is, and therefore could not be used. Only kit motors, servos, and solenoid valves may recieve output signals, unless they have made a major change this year. I would study this carefully before proceeding.
