3057: Using pneumatic tubing as a spacer
According to the red box under rule <R26>, it states that "using pneumatic cylinders and/or tubing without any air reservoirs is also in Violation of the spirit of this rule". Does this include using pneumatic tubing as a custom spacer, or does that not fall under the classification of using it as pneumatics?
Answered by committee
One intent of the red box below <R26> is to prevent teams from using excess pneumatic tubing as additional storage on the Robot beyond the allowable reservoirs. The specific language you have called out pertains solely to that intent. There are no rules governing the use of pneumatic tubing outside of the pneumatic system, as long as the tubing used is legal for use on Robots.
