The answers to all of those will be found in the 2012 Manual; however, if you would like to get an idea of what was allowed in the past, start at page 25 of the 2011 Game Manual Section 4. (Note: Anything seen in the 2011 Manual does not apply in 2012 except where the rule is repeated in the 2012 Manual.)

Thanks Erich your a big help as always It was the solenoid valve I looked it up and it said

Solenoid valves with a maximum ⅛” NPT port diameter, and a maximum Cv of 0.32 (if non-KOP valves are used, the team will be required to provide part documentation validating that the valves meet these constraints).

Sorry I sounded kinda dumb im not very familiar with the pneumatics on the robot.

Thanks again for help
