Given my inexperience with Pneumatics, I'm just watching the back and forth of discussion to see when/if a consensus is arrived at.
Personaly, I'm of the opinion that in most cases, it is the builders themselves who should have technical requirements applied to them, rather than the bots, since a technical rulebook assumes that the person who wrote the rules knows more about it than the person building the bot does, which isnt always the case.
No amount of technical rules is going to make a bot built by an idiot safe, and a lot of clever builders will often push the edges of rules in a fairly safe fashion.
However, the rules are there to keep people happy that the playing field is level, and to keep the paper-pushers (insurance companies, venue owners etc) happy that there are some rules.
So, you guys who have strong opinions on how it should be argue out a set of rules, get someone other than me to ok it (since I dont consider myself qualified to do so), and as long as it looks to the paperpushers that its all "by the book", I'm happy too. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas.
