<R7> currently allows for
Items used solely for the purpose of bundling or wrapping 2-wire or 3-wire cables for the purposes of protection, organization, or management are allowed. This includes but is not limited to electrical tape, cable carrier, cable track, etc. Note: it is up to inspectors to determine whether a component is serving a function beyond protecting and managing cables.
I know that you have said the rule will be updated in the future, but will you consider adding pneumatic tubing to the rule when you update the manual. Most teams run all wires and tubing together so it would be had to have one in a casing and one not in a casing.
Thanks for looking at this.
This question will be answered after the scheduled June 2nd manual update. We appreciate your patience.
On June 2nd, <R7l> was updated to address this issue. The new version, that can be found in the VEX Skyrise Game Manual, is quoted below.

Yes, items for the protection of pneumatic tubing, as described above, are legal.
