The definition of fans is any device for producing a current of air by the movement of a broad surface or a number of such surfaces.

I see a relation.

/sarcasm

Exactly. Yankees fans are Airheads.

It was the dragon emoji, I swear it worked on my end.

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

And airheads are clearly pneumatic devices.

If the Yankees could steal the Mariners suck that would be great...

This is an engineering regulation, not specifically first. IIRC pneumatic systems don't need certification if they operate below 15PSI. (I was googling around and can't find a source, my value could also be wrong).

Traction devices must not have surface features such as ... hard plastic studs, cleats...

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".

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

Fans were used in Lunacy to help push robots around.

Thus, using prior logic, this thread must be, in essence, a pneumatic device.

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



[1] Sox fans are obnoxious enough without a win.

right?

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
