: i believe its 1.5 gallons at 9 atmospheres...
I took the pneumatics seminar at the kickoff. My notes say 1.5 gallons, ~9 atmosphere and ~110 psi.
The SMC representative was very careful to say ~110 psi because of elements beyond their control (such as temperature, humidity, etc.), your milage may vary. However, they were also very diliberate in saying that regardless of the exact pressure, everyone's tank will be pressurized the same, because SMC or FIRST will be filling the tanks at the competitions before each round. FIRST also warned us to make your tanks readily accessable in your design for this reason!

I'll admit that the events at Epcot were pretty nice, but they too had their problems. . . You were at the mercy of the weather, and Disney hasn't figured out how to control that yet. - Kevin Sevcik [more]
