Possible to Adjust Speed

Maybe next season I want to develop and test a new metric for FRC scouting: Bumper Quality Rating (BQR). BQR-5: The platonic ideal of FRC bumpers. ... BQR-0: Moderate to heavy use of duct tape. I believe BQR would outperform OPR as a predictor of on-field robot performance. - Nate Laverdure [more]

Would you have to make sure that the Cv was smaller?

Is it legal? Yes.
Do you need to lower the Cv? No.

Will it produce twice the flow? no. This is due to a number of factors including turbidity (sp?) when recombining the flows, etc. Experiment with this, as it is a good learning point in fluid dynamics.

Hint: use 'Y' connectors
