Can you give us a little more detail? got a Make/model number? What do you mean when you say "1800 psi cartridge?" Is it filled with air at 1800 psi? Or is it rated for 1800psi? What are you calling a cartridge?

Re: 1800 PSI Cartridge

Almost certainly not.
The answer depends on a more detailed description.

If you are talking about an airgun cartridge pressurized to 1800psi, then no it isn't allowed.
We are limited to one rules legal source of compressed air, limited to 120psi.

Re: 1800 PSI Cartridge

no Firsting way! the clippard stainless steel tanks with the aluminum end caps are a more robust alternative to the plastic air tanks and are allowed by the rules. no need to be putting an HPA paintball tank on a first robot

Re: 1800 PSI Cartridge

R77 lists all allowed pneumatic components. If a pneumatic component isn't listed, it is not allowed on an FRC competition robot.

More robust than a 1800psi aluminum tank!

It's a pneumatic storage tank, it is listed.


But I don't know how you would legally use a paintball tank without modifying the pin valve and we all know no modification are allowed on pneumatic components, to bad. I wonder if we could get one of these manufacturers to make a tank for us that would easily work with the fittings we are required to use. It could be a wonderful light and safe alternative.

Deeper in the marker those valves are stepped down in PSI and size and can be made to always be open (no modification required), why you would use a paintball air tank for 120 psi is beyond me though. you would be wasting weight with the steel ones and at 200+$ per tank for a CF one you would hit that robot price limit fast But a custom CF tank for first use would be pretty sweet.

Re: 1800 PSI Cartridge

A CO2 cartridge @ 1800 would be quite warm. Just saying.

Re: 1800 PSI Cartridge

lol I have always wanted to use an paintball tank pressured to 3000PSI with a regulator that drops it to 60 working PSI. Would last an entire day without needing to be refilled....... (similar to the 254 t-shirt cannon). But super illegal.
