Starting Energy Limits for Springs?
I am sorry if this has already been hashed out or if I am just missing an obvious rule, but I have searched ChiefDephi.com and even read what I could of the manuals (I did not search the various blogs and other discussion forii that FIRST uses to make rules public so my search was not as complete as it might have been).
Here goes...
...a mentor on our team made reference to a rule that limits the amount of energy that is allowed to be stored in a spring at the start of the match (for example in latex tubing used to to power a kickers to pick a random possible usage).
I have looked for such a rule but I cannot fine anything.
To the best of your knowledge, is there a rule that limits this (other than general safety rules -- which seem to apply to the times during the match and after it just as much as before it)?
Your thoughts and opinions are welcome.
Regards,
Joe J.
