That would keep you keep you below the about 120 PSI stated in the rules.
The instructions from Nason for recalibrating the SM series pressure switch calls for rotating the barrel 1/2-3/4 turn. Not dissembling the switch. I have done this on our tee shirt cannon & it has been working fine with a consistent set point (120psi) for the last year or so. Per the 2014 Q&A you cannot do this on your comp bot whether or not it works is a mute point for FRC. As in all things, you should always thoroughly test your adjustment to be sure they have the result you intended. |
Frank, I would suggest that the Q&A does not allow that part. The Q&A states that the part being substituted must be the same or equivilant to the Nason pressure switch. The fact that it is ajustable means that it is not the same or equivilant.
After all of this is said and done, think about how much more you all will know about the lovely state of Montana and other things not related to robotics. :) - Madison [more]
