Re: pre-charged Pneumatics
I disagree. I believe this is perfectly legal for wieghing and sizing.
In the past teams have had srping loaded protrusions and expansions that activated at the start of the match but allowed them to meet size requirements and I see this as no different.
A good portion of this year's ball manipulation devices will be required to be pressurized to size during inspection. Explaining this to the inspectors as a precaution makes sense. Also remember every time you place your robot on the field this devisce will need to be charged fot the same reason.
IMHO you can go through inspection and place your robot on the field with charged pneumatics.
