So is the sale of air tanks happening for spares/practice parts or for extra competition parts to be used simulatneously with the one provided in the kit?

you can use the second one in your robot as well. thats what Jay was trying to say. they just have to be the same types as the one given to you in your kit. you can buy another one from innovation and use it because it is the same type as the one given to you. so basically you cant go and buy from someone else, you have to use the first product. or at least thats what i thought that Jay was trying to say.

Would you care to cite a source, or at least some reasoning on this? No offense but I am not going to design a mechanism around something someone with 4 posts on these boards told me. If I follow your logic of it "being the same" then say we have 6 of the same ones in our posession and we put those on the robot. Would be legal? I doubt it.

Can anyone give us a definite answer with a source of whether it is one or two allowed onboard? Thanks.

EXACTLY what I meant thank you

and if you read my post you will see I said...

"Honestly your team should ask for clarification on the Q&A website. Just as what is that maximum number of Clippard tanks that can be used on you machine."


I just don't know why people can't read an entire post, update, email, etc... please take your time, if need be read them twice.

I will never tell anyone anything is a fact unless I can point them to the source.

thank you.
