Very confliting data on pneumatics

[Bochek]

Rule 105 states that you must use pneumatic cylinders that are identical to the ones on the Pneumatic Components Order Form. The Pneumatic Components Order form also states to check the Bimba web site for available strokes in each bore size. Both the online Free Pneumatic Components Order Form and the online Bimba Product Catalog list more choices for stroke length than are listed on the printed order form from the Pneumatics Manual.

This question was asked on the Q&A syatem and the responce was:

As specified in Rule <R105>, additional pistons "must be identical to those listed on the Pneumatic Components Order form (i.e. same part numbers)." Parts 1724-DP and 3118-DXP are not available on the Pneumatics Components Order Form, and therefore are not permitted.

Even more conflicting is the data provided by the 2007 FRC Pneumatics Manual.

It states:

You will again be able to order custom cylinders from Bimba for your robot this year. You have a choice of 3/4” bore (diameter), 1-1/2” bore and 2” bore. You can order the amount of stroke you require.

Anyone have any clue what gives?

I will have our teams communication officer contact first Q&A system about this inconsistancy.
