    Default Pneumatic cylinders

    I know that there is a limit on what types of pneumatic cylinders we can use, but this is not very clear. Using the flow chart on page 19 of the <Robot> section of the manual, it says that we can use cylinders that are not on the custom cylinder order form if they are rated for 125 psi and off the shelf or custom made by the team.

    1.) When will we get the custom cylinder order form?
    2.) Can we order any standard or custom cylinder from Bimba so long as it is rated for 125 psi?
    3.)In the catalog many of the cylinders come standard in sizes up to 12" stroke, but are available in up to 36" stroke, can we use these larger stroke lengths?

    Please advise. Thanks.

    Please review the pneumatics section of the manual (Section 8.3.10) and the Parts Use Flowchart very carefully. The Parts Use Flowchart indicates that you may NOT use custom cylinders that are not obtained by ordering from the Custom Cylinders Order Form, and you may NOT use purchased cylinders that are not IDENTICAL to those found on the Custom Cylinders Order Form.

    The Custom Cylinder Order Form is on the last page of the Pneumatics Manual, which may be downloaded from the Related Documents and Resources section of the FRC web site.
