Pneumatic Tubing

VEX V5 General Discussion Technical Discussion
#1

Could you use an non-latex equivalent tubing for Pneumatics incase you’re allergic to latex.

#2

I’m not sure. The rules say identical in every way but color is acceptable, but this is a different material. I would say yes due to the circumstances but I am no official

#3

This would probably be a no.

#4

is the tubing really latex? my driver helped me wire my pneumatics and he is extremely allergic to latex
