Re: Flat Hose

Not sure either of those help me, or maybe it is my ability to read the rules, I don't know. Could be the six week zombie syndrom

Anyway, if the hose is considered a pneumatic cylinder, then why is it not permitted under <R72>D

Quote:
In addition to the pneumatic cylinders provided in the KOP and the “free” pneumatic
cylinders available for order through the Free Pneumatic Components Order Form,
additional air cylinders or rotary actuators may be used. Cylinders may be of any
configuration, and may be of any size up to a maximum of 24-inch stroke and 2-inch
diameter.
If the hose is considered a storage cylinder then it is excluded under <R72>A:

Quote:
One or two additional Clippard air storage tanks (Clippard Part Number AVT-32-16),
equivalent to those provided in the kit. This means that up to four, and no more, Clippard air
storage tanks can be used on the ROBOT.
I will submit to the GDC Q&A once I figure out if I can get the hose I need. Thanks for your input
