Re: pre-charged Pneumatics

Ahh, but not all mechanisms are "charged" with air pressure. Teams that utilize springs or surgical tubing with a motor to charge their kicker may, depending on design, leave the kicker in a charged position when the robot is off, while having no pneumatics at all! And other teams will pressurize their robot from the cart in order to save weight (not have a compressor on their robot) - in such a case, you would have to carry it onto the field charged.
