Pneumatic Regulators from Automation Direct

[only1chip]

Woot, Woot!!!

A BIG THANKS TO FIRST for clarifying the rules to 'officially' allow the use of our excellent (and super lightweight) regulator!

To celebrate, AutomationDirect would like to give way 10 sets of the regulator and matching gauge to 10 deserving FRC teams:

PRU14 REGULATOR 15-120 PSI 1/4in TUBE CONNECTIONS INLINE $20.25
PGU14 PRESSURE GAUGE 0-170 PSI 1/4in TUBE CONNECTIONS INLINE $17.75


So, the first 10 teams to tell us the following three things (in this thread) will win the parts:

1. How much weight could these parts save on your robot? Be as exact as possible, don’t forget the brass fittings that are no longer needed. We list the ‘packaged weight’ of the two parts above at 0.1lbs each – but I expect there is some rounding error there – maybe someone here on CD can help with a more exact figure??

2. What other AutomationDirect parts have you used on an FRC Robot (this year or previous)? Please include a link to the part on our webstore.

3. Your shipping address (if you are uncomfortable posting this publicly – you can PM me)


Please note that IF you haven’t used your AutomationDirect $30 voucher yet (instructions are here) – THEN you could actually purchase this same pair of parts for only $8 plus shipping. See Rick’s post above to learn how to qualify for our FREE two-day FedEx shipping.

And note that ALL voucher orders include a FREE tubing cutter… great for getting a clean, square cut on your pneumatic tubing, and preventing leaks!

THANKS AGAIN FIRST!
