Re: Pneumatic Storage Tanks in 2011

It seems like the rules are a big vague WRT to tanks.

<R65> To satisfy multiple constraints associated with safety, consistency, robot inspection, and constructive innovation, no pneumatic parts other than those explicitly permitted by the Pneumatic System Rules may be used on the ROBOT.

<R66> In addition to the items included in the KOP, pneumatic system items specifically permitted on 2011 FRC ROBOTS include the following items...

The elaborated list does not say anything about tanks, but neither does rule <R67> explicitly prohibit additional tanks.

A strict reading of these rules would lead me to conclude we can only use the tank (a bigger one this year) provided in the KOP. A loose reading of these rules would indicate we can use as many tanks as we want, assuming they support a working pressure of 125PSI and a burst pressure of 250 PSI.

Also, is <R74> new this year? I could swear I saw this sort of design implemented on a few robots last year.

Thanks!

Jeffrey
