Re: Solution: Variable position of cylinder in compliance with <R74>

Roboman: I understand that's the rule, I'm asking "Why do we think the GDC has this rule in place?", and should it be reasonably challenged for next year's rules? The single vent rule was further emphasized first in Lunacy with "all" underlined. 2008 was the first year they broke out mention of the valve separately; before that it was mentioned as part of the Nason main relief rule and wasn't as explicit: "The Parker pressure vent valve must be connected to
a Clippard tank such that, when manually operated, it will vent to the atmosphere to relieve any stored pressure."

The fact that they've refined and emphasized the rule leads me to believe there were safety issues at some events (perhaps in 2007 and again in 2009). I'm just wondering if they were "emergency" occurrences that required quick relief by one and only one valve, or if we could build safe (and potentially more functional) robots that had multiple relief valves that together are capable of relieving all stored pressure.
