Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the ROBOT include:
A.
Any air compressor other than, or in addition to, the one provided in the Kit Of Parts.
B.
Any pneumatic part or component rated for less than 125psi.
C.
Any pneumatic part or component that has been altered, modified, machined, coated, or changed from its original “out of the box” condition, except as required for normal assembly with other components. The only acceptable modifications are:
•
Tubing may be cut.
•
Wiring for valves and sensors may be modified to interface with the control system.
•
Assembling and connecting pneumatic components using the pre-existing threads, mounting brackets, quick-connect fittings, etc.
Can we use quick connects or not?

Yes based on the bolded section of your quote. The following Q&A made it clear that we can use those and flow restricting fittings as well.
