I see a relation.

Re: Are Fans Pneumatic Devices?

This thread reminds me of our defensive fan development for 2013...
I am still not doing a very good job....

W tread versawheels are hard plastic, and have what could be described as studs and/or cleats. This was tangential to my point. It was an example of "illegal but not going to be called".

Re: Are Fans Pneumatic Devices?

I am thinking it must be a slow day in Chief Delphi land.

Fans were used in Lunacy to help push robots around.

Hey Red Sox opening day was a disappointment for me too[1]. I know that feel.

The full explanation of "pneumatic device" leads to the a definition where a machine uses compressed air to do work.

I think the attempted "discussion" was more about whether it is worth $188 or more to measure the air inside the tube in order to determine if the smidgen of increase in pressure due to the fan even registers on the tool (which has a margin of error of a lot) that may then be used to say that this particular device generates more compressed air (that is accurately measurable) than any of its other "devices" through normal play.

It's pedantic and demeaning to the team which took the idea from concept through to to a working point-scoring mechanism.

We will do our best to not become pneumatic devices this weekend. It may be necessary to carefully control the diet of our team members
