 If you think that teams would never bypass the rules or do something unsafe (intentional or unintentional), I suggest you spend a weekend as an inspector. Every bad scenario that you can think of, we have seen. - Al Skierkiewicz [more] |

Re: pic: 1726 Promobot
They did some work on it last night, after an experiment with the compressor from the 2006 FRC robot showed that it would shoot fine on about 10 seconds of compressor run time after opening the reservoir "fill" valve. We stuck a pressure gage on it, and that is only about 30 psi in the reservoir! One thing that helps, is that there is a Clippard tank that fills (quickly) to about 70 psi, then this air goes into the reservoir (evens out at 20 psi) and the compressor adds about one psi per second of run time. The Clippard tank is on there mainly to provide pressure for the "fire" pneumatic cylinder.
So, no need for the CO2 system, which makes me happy from a safety perspective.
