Adaptability is the key folks. Your job will not be the same 10 years from now (when I retire), or 20 years or 30 years from now. The tools and systems you use will change, and you must be able to adapt along with them. - Bill Moore [more]

Gas springs legality

I read the following rule:

Quote:

<R87>
....
For the purposes of the FIRST competition, closed-loop pneumatic (gas) shocks are not
considered pneumatic devices, and are permitted additions to the ROBOT.

Does this say that I'm allowed to use gas springs such as those on 5 door cars (on the fifth door) that helps lift the baggage?

Please answer as soon as possible.

Thanks in advanced,
Team 2217
