Cylinders
Are previous years' cylinders allowed on 2007 robots, provided that they are
not purchased? (This question applies principally to the Parker cylinders
included in FIRST kits in past years, and to Bimba cylinders that were
available using past years' pneumatics order forms, but which are
unavailable on the 2007 form.)...

Unmodified Parker-Hannifan and/or Bimba cylinders that are sourced from prior-year FRC Kit Of Parts, and which are one of the sizes listed on the 2007 Pneumatic Components Order Form, and which are identical in size, shape and function to any of the specific part number combinations listed on the 2007 Pneumatic Components Order Form, and which are rated for at least 125 psi, may be used on a 2007 FRC robot. The relevant rules (<R28>, <R48>, <R105> and <R106>) are satisfied. If the cylinder has been modified, it can not be used. If the cylinder is from other than Parker-Hannifan or Bimba, it can not be used. If the cylinder is of a diameter/stroke combination that is not listed on the 2007 Pneumatic Components Order Form, it can not be used. If the cylinder is not the same as one of the Bimba part numbers listed on the 2007 Pneumatic Components Order Form (e.g. it has a different mounting configuration, different piston rod configuration, different sensor integration, etc.), it can not be used. If the cylinder is rated for less than 125 psi, it can not be used.
