New hydraulic rules are now posted on the main site.
Main changes are
pressure max 272 bar was 200 bar
mandatory fitment of a test point to all heavies/ middle and light weights.
Advisory for feathers but not mandatory.
For specific advice contact FRA hydraulic technical
I like the fact that more Hydraulic robots are coming on the scene, but that will also mean more leaking robots will eventually appear.
I would like to propose an addition to the carrying cradle rule that for Hydraulic robots to have some kind of leak tray fitted in or under or as a part of the carrying cradle, so no or a least a minimal amount of hydraulic fluid can leak in the walkways and pit area. I think venue owners would not like hydraulic fluids in their carpets or gymfloor.
good call leo

Wait untill you have to repair a hose or replace the ram.
Oh, thats right, most of us dont have a spare robot in the back of the car.
Sorry Tom, leaking hydraulics arent an issue.
But to give the right example, Mantis will have a leak tray cradle.

Yet.
Once more hydraulic robots will get on the scene, more chances of leaks. I dont think my request is that far fetched.
Alright, dont get to angry about the fact that i have more than 1 robot, there is no need for abuse. I wasnt saying that hydraulic oil isnt an issue, but im more likely to throw up in a walkway.

hmmm new rule, roboteers must have a drip tray installed too? :)
So far the robots like Kan-Opener and Tiberious have been quite clean. But we cant expect every robot to be as leak-free as they have been, specially when exiting the arena and taking battle damage.
