Building Off/Pre-Season Pneumatic system (Rookie)

[Mark McLeod]

The number of storage tanks are related to how much/how fast you plan to use air. One is fine, but I'd suggest at least one.

The KOP did not come with push-to-connect fittings which are necessary to build a system. They were available as one of the FIRST Choice selections.
Otherwise, I'd suggest borrowing some fittings from a nearby team or ordering some of your own (example).

besides the push-to-connect, we did not receive a "2 Festo Valve" on the Manual provided by usfirst.org. Was that part of the 2010 KOP?

You should have received one of these 24v solenoid valves in the 2010 Kit. Only rookies got them this year.

I see you last played in 2008, so you'd have an equivalent 12v solenoid valve and push-to-connect fittings from then if it wasn't all lost.
