Re: First Time Pneumatics
1. If you are using a small volume of air it is reasonable to use just the storage tanks. If you know how frequently you will actuate the pistons you can calculate the air volume and storage pressure necessary using the ideal gas law (P1)(V1)=(P2)(V2)
2. Use one of the pnuematic fittings prvided and charge through the vent valve. This is pretty much the only legal way because of the restrictions pnuematic parts. A quick connect won't pass inspection if it didn't come in the kit.
3. It's been argued frequently and it comes down to this is the way FIRST wants it done. Also I don't believe the PS is rated for the current.
