How are teams going to be able to figure out what one persons opinion is going to be?

When in the pit & I don't want to dump the air out of the accumulators, but i don't want an actuator moving. Or if I want to release pressure on a cylinder. I will grant that the normal case is to have some working pressure, but you asked for a reason. Some teams have a lot of stored pressure. In that case it is fairly important to have the dump on the high side. In other cases maybe not so much.

I was not your RI. I do not walk away from questions & am always willing to review the rules and the reasons for my interpretation. I try to read the rules not as I what I would like, but what I think the GDC intends. Which is generally pretty literal. I will also suggest that they ask the LRI if they don't like my answer.
