Can you state your source for this information?

I believe that the GDC will make this ruling, but until it's in writing ...

That comes from Bill's Blog - http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/2010...st-choice.html

Is that an official communication from FIRST? I would say yes. Is it officially part of the rules for the game this year? I would say no. The rule book says nothing about FIRST Choice being part of the KoP - and as I quoted earlier in this thread, specifically defines the KoP as being the items on the checklist.

Re: Pneumatic Muscle

The max pressure is the same as in the Pneumatics section of the manual, 60 psi max working pressure.
The First Choice is an extension of the KOP as referenced above. I checked.

Re: Pneumatic Muscle

yes... i do think that a Pneumatic Muscle is a very good way of grasping the inner tubes but the only problem is that it can only be fully extended or not. no in between.
