Answered: Adding a Gauge to The Pneumatics

[DinerKid]

I was thinking about how helpful it would be to have a gauge attached to the pneumatics. Because there is not currently a vex pressure gauge i was hoping that adding one would fall under the decoration portion of the rules. As far as i can see there is no way that the pressure gauge could alter the outcome of a match and assuming it did not touch a game object it would clear that portion of the rule as well. I am just looking for an official point of view on the matter.

Thanks

Adding a pressure gauge would not qualify as a non functional decoration. The feedback it provides would definitely be considered functional.
