I bought this up at an fra meeting ages ago, before that it was banned....

I personally think having your hand inside a robot to turn the gas on is STUPID.

The amount of times i used to turn turbulence's pneumatics on and it would fire due to a leaky seal or similar was crazy, if my hand had been inside the machine in a little flap cut in the armor like some machines ive seen it would of riped my hand off, or atleast broken somthing, im glad we fitted an exsternal method of turning the gas on ( a turn wheel on the outside of the armor)

Im with jonno... a standard tool should be made compulsory...or at least a way of turning the gas on/off from outside the machine without the use of tools. Id like to see it on fw's aswell...as a tech checker i will still never pass a robot you have to turn upside down to vent the gas (mr lear)

And gary i think its suggested that all safety devices are in the same position... i.e. links/gas/dump should all be within close proximity to each other if possible.
