COTS Closed loop systems

[Dragonslayerend]

In the rules it states any COTS closed loop system (gas shocks) are not considered pneumatics and therefore not under pneumatic rules. So to bypass the 60 PSI working regulation, we wanted to just pump 120 psi of air into a cylinder and use it as a gas shock and lock it off so no solenoids are controlling it. Will this mean it's no longer a pneumatic system and now labeled as a gas shock? This will be used for our catapult system, not that we are going with this, we are actually going with workout bands, but this is something we've prototype and found to work well.
