Robot Inspection Checklist Prior to Matches

Please defend that position. Seems cut and dry to me.

<R01> indicates the energy stored in the battery at the start of the match as separate from the 120PSI air stored on the robot.

<R34> serves to further restrict the battery clause of <R01> (as is directly indicated in that clause).

Neither <R01> nor <R34> provide any requirements as to how the 120PSI air gets in the tanks.

I can understand your interpretation, but I do not see it as cut and dry either way as you suggest. Perhaps a question for the Q&A?

It may seem silly but - continually check for loose screws! - with the battery disconnected of course

Oh, for a second I forgot what this thread was about.

Also, check all electrical connections, breakers, fuses, etc. Be sure to include the fans on victors, the 5 volt regulated output (if used for a camera) and the 12 volt regulated output on the power distribution board, and the breaker in the spike that controls the compressor (the other spikes should have fuses which are a bit more secure since they don't stick out. Also, check to see if any chains have come off their sprockets and for any other type of misalignment.
