Also:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to notmattlythgoe again.

Your robot moves air as it drives.

*Trigger warning, may include some satire/sarcasm
I don't really see any issue with the fan. Now the wind bag (what I like to call the device catching said air) may be a different story. Can someone ask the GDC if Wind Bags are legal? I don't have direct access via Q&A. Here is some sample wording:

On CD, I came across a lot of posts about Fans and Wind Bags. While fans seem perfectly legal, wouldn't the Wind Bags referenced on CD be illegal? With all the attention they are getting, I am afraid that those that follow CD might cause the Wind Bags to multiply. It could get bad enough that most teams at the championship might have a Wind Bag. If wind Bags are legal, then carry on...**


*Just so anyone that is not a regular know this is mostly sarcastic
**Added so that anyone reading this post realizes that this post is mostly satire.

As a windbag myself, I resemble that remark.

Who needs a bag of winds? Just use David Hasselhoff as your human player.

I only see an issue with mentor-built wind bags... but then I don't know of any other varieties.

Does it look like a windbag to a reasonably astute observer?

The air pressure in your typical latex balloon is [ambient air pressure]+0.005 atm. Convert that to PSI.

Well, gauge pressure in FRC is pressure above atmospheric, so you just need to convert .005 atm to PSI. That is, .073 PSI.

And the pressure in a balloon is significantly higher than a wind sock, since pressure stored in a balloon is actually stretching the latex of the balloon out, where a windsock is just stiffening / taking shape.

Here you go.

Add custom circuit with ISD chip so your robot can excuse itself.

Should we yell "WINDBAG!" whenever we see one walking around the pits?

My grandmother taught me to say "excuse me" like a civilized human being!
