Trev's Regs

Nope, the thread on the on/off valve is exact the same as the pin valve.

Why should it be a different thread? It's a standard for paintball. The HPA (High Pressure Air bottles) have exact the same thread to connect to the markers.

And Trevors regs are originaly made for industrial bottle thread standard, and that's a tad larger than the paintball bottle thread. But that's just a question of changing the CO2 nut on the reg. Something Trevor and some other roboteers can do without any problem.

Sorry, I'm probably fretting more than I should be. I guess when you've never done something like this before, all sorts of questions come up.

[maddox10]

No problemo, most roboteers will be glad to answer.

I would be interested in a trev for a paintball bottle

[maddox10]

1 PM to Trevor should make that a possibility.

So I've managed to acquire 2 9oz paintball bottles, and I've decided to downsize the ram stroke from 100mm to 75mm in the hope that I can squeeze it into a tighter space.
Obviously, I don't know at this point how everything will be arranged within the robot just yet, but is it correct that I must be able to vent the main tank externally?

[maddox10]

Most of the time the dump valve and the removable link are close to each other, to make the job of the arena marchal or pitcrew that dearms the robots easier.

[Danny B]

So where in the system does the dump valve go?

[maddox10]

That doesn't matter, as long the complete setup can be emptied by manualy opening that valve.
