Re: Bungy and Surgical tubing
In 5 years of reading FRC rules and Q&A's, I've never seen the GDC make a rule change that prohibited a type of design this late in the season that was legal according to the rules at kickoff. Thus, I'd imagine that the GDC will make an addendum to the safety rules with specific regard to high speed, high tension systems. The requirement may be as simple as requiring a double-solenoid valve on all high tension pneumatically-actuated systems so that the valves are not defaulted to a certain position. That's reasonable to an extent since the KOP valve is a double solenoid.
Regardless of any further GDC arbitration, I do believe that the current rules allow for an inspector's enforcement of high visibility labels on such systems.
