Re: Pneumatic Restrictions & Improvments

Don't you just love when people on a forum take something you say, twist it around, and start beating you with it every chance they get? No where in anything I said did I say I didn't trust teams to do what they thought was best and legal. No where did I even imply that anything we look for at events is because we suspect teams of cheating, as opposed to acting out of ignorance (which is probably 99.9% of what we see as inspectors).

You'll note that I never said anything about not trusting teams - the word trust wasn't brought up by me. I simply pointed out that we don't know if teams are using a shop compressor to charge their robot, and that's one reason we don't like having them present in the venue. It's not a question of trust any more than any of the other rules we enforce at an event - it's a question of "what is that freshman who doesn't know the rules going to do when the pressure is on and he's sent to get the robot ready for the match?" Many, many teams use a shop compressor during the build season to power pneumatics for testing - I know my team does, and everyone on my team knows how to do so safely... and it's quite possible that one of my students, out of ignorance, would use a shop compressor to charge up the robot when in a time crunch/pressure situation.
