A) Per the additional hardware list you must use Snap Action Inc's 
Snap Action Circuit Breakers.  If you are having problems obtaining 
these please try http://www.innovationfirst.com

Are Din rails allowed to mount the 60 Amp circuit breaker?

We haven't been able to find this in any of the rules or Small Parts.

A) Yes.  They will be covered under terminal blocks in the additional 
hardware list as long as they are only used to mount the terminal 
blocks.

 we've designed a control system for a robotic arm that includes a 
glove and 3 pots. we where wondering if using a glove is valid. this 
is similar to team cyber blues (234) back pack control system last 
year.

Subject: Compressor

Is it considered legal to charge the air tanks before a match, using 
the compressor from the kit, but then leave the compressor off the 
robot. The pneumatics to power the robot during the match would then 
be solely supplied from the air stored in the tanks.

A) Yes, but the Pneumatics system can not use more than 60 Psi.

the pneumatic tanks can only hold 60 PSI under this circumstance or, the

Subject: RE: inventor-autodesk

Q: How do you make a mirror image of a part in Inventor.

A: (from our Inventor guy) You do not make a mirror image of a part in 
Inventor.

In Inventor, you can make a mirror image of a feature of a part which 
then becomes a new feature of that part.

In inventor, you can make a mirror image of an entity, (line, circle, 
arc, etc...), in sketch mode.

If there is another method I have not found it.

A) The maximum output from the regulator can only be 60 PSI.
Storage tanks can be pressurized to 120 PSI.  Air from the 
storage tanks goes through the regulator (no exceptions) into the rest 
of your pneumatic system.
