Thanks for the correction Mike.

One other point I'll make is that at each connector there is a chance of an air leak and each sharp bend causes internal air drag.

When you build the system for your competition bot, I would work out how to build the system with the fewest connections and the fewest bends.

For example: instead of having 2 air paths from storage, run air to tank1, then tank2 and then to the gauge. This eliminates, 2 tee connectors, 6 connections and 4 sharp bends.
