Re: Telescoping Tubing Extended with Air Pressure or Springs?

A compressed spring is fine, as long as you can safely store the energy while it is compressed during the match.


If you want to use air pressure, you must do it with a legal pneumatic system (see rule <R72>). In short, you must do it with a COTS pneumatic device. You cannot hook your compressed air directly to the nested tube and blow air into it to extend it.

Hope this helps!
