Beginning of Match - Charged tank

Tuba,
The problem with venturi vacuum systems is you need airflow to the develop the vacuum. Without the robot running, keeping a charged tank while waiting for the match to start is going to be difficult.

Yes I agree, but once you have a vacuum you can engage the tube and lock it in. It is possible to do this manually during the field setup before the robot is enabled. We have tried it out and it works! If you establish a good seal with the tube, the vacuum will maintain for quite a long time. You just have to figure out a way to prevent atomspheric pressure from leaking back in at all possible openings HINT HINT!
