R802       *No custom pneumatics and meet minimum pressure ratings. All pneumatic items must be COTS pneumatic devices and either:

A.      rated by their manufacturers for pressure of at least 125.0psi (861.8kPa, 8.618Bar), or

B.      installed downstream of the primary relieving regulator (see R809), and rated for pressure of at least 70.0psi (482.6kPa, 4.826Bar).

Any pressure specification such as “working,” “operating,” “maximum,” etc. may be used to satisfy the requirements of this rule.

It is recommended that all pneumatic items be rated by their manufacturers for a working pressure of at least 60.0psi (413.7kPa, 4.137Bar).

Rule R801
R801       *Only use explicitly permitted pneumatic parts. To satisfy multiple constraints associated with safety, consistency, inspection, and constructive innovation, no pneumatic parts other than those explicitly permitted in this section shall be used on the ROBOT.
Rule R804
R804       *Only use specific pneumatic devices. The only pneumatic system items permitted on ROBOTS include the following items:
Rule R808
R808       *Working air pressure limit. Working air pressure (air pressure used to actuate devices) on the ROBOT must be no greater than 60.0psi (413.7kPa, 4.137Bar) and must be provided through a single primary adjustable, relieving, pressure regulator. Additional regulators may be located downstream of the single primary regulator.
Rule R803
R803       *Don’t modify pneumatics. All pneumatic COMPONENTS must be used in their original, unaltered condition. Exceptions are as follows:
