2006 pneumatics rules - my rant

<rant>Ok, now I understand why we can only choose from certain manufacturers due to their sponsorship of FIRST and the kit donations they make, and I'm cool with that. But why are we only allowed to use kit-style cylinders?!

There's a supplier restriction and a cost restriction already in place; I don't see how this rule helps anyone out, and it rules out a bunch of pretty cool types of pneumatics (pancake cylinders, multi-position cylinders, cylinders with integrated position sensors, etc.)

I really hope that FIRST chages this next year.

Oh well, just another challenge to overcome...</rant>
