[OCCRA]: Pneumatics

[Mike Martus]

This is not an easy answer as there are many implications. Please do not put all your efforts into this yet as we are having a serious discussion.

I hope to have an answer by the end of the day Wednesday.

Official answer:

We had to do our homework and make sure we made a decision that was fair to the entire OCCRA community of teams keeping safety as #1.

Answer:
As in all prior years we are restricting the usage of supply tubing both upstream and downstream to the kit 1/8 tubing.

Therefore the configuration in the above picture is not legal as it in essence using the storage device as a large supply tubing to the cylinders in place of the 1/8 tubing. While not exceeding the 60 psi rule it is in violation of the 1/8 supply tubing size - yes we know it is not tubing.....

We have restricted the supply to and from all devices to 1/8 tubing for safety reasons.

Please design according.

Please note a safety reminder and notice of inspection posted as a sticky in this forum.
