Re: How many Pneumatics pistons can we use?

from the "robot" section of the rules manual, section 5.2.9, Pneumatics System Requirements, rule R54, bullet #3:

Quote:
There is no limit to the number of solenoid valves, air cylinders, and connecting fittings you may
use on your robot. They must, however, be “off the shelf” pneumatic devices rated by their
manufacturers for pressure of at least 125psi. Besides the “free” pneumatic components listed on
the Pneumatic Components Order form, you may use additional air cylinders or rotary actuators,
however, they must be identical to those listed on the Pneumatic Components Order form, and
obtained from a Bimba or Parker Hannifan distributor.
So, you can use as many as you like it appears

As for pressure, you can have 125 psi in the tanks, but still only 60 psi working pressure.

Quote:
“Working” air pressure on the robot must be no greater than 60psi. All working air must come
from the Norgen adjustable pressure regulator, and all other pneumatic components must be
downstream from this regulator. A pressure gauge must be placed adjacent to the pressure
regulator and display the downstream pressure.
(same rule, 2nd bullet)
