and doing so would make the compressor illegal for use on a competition robot, per R76: "All pneumatic COMPONENTS must be used in their original, unaltered condition." Repairs are technically alterations, and there's no way for a third party (ie an inspector) to know if you have sufficient knowledge/experience to perform the repairs and result in a functionally equivalent and safe compressor.

Ah, I work with electronics too much and forget that repair rule didn't extend beyond electronics.
Sadly restrictive there, but a rebuild kit is about half the cost of the compressor new, so there isn't too much savings anyway.

Be advised if youuse a "non KOP" compressor that meets R79, make sure you bring the manufacturer's data sheet to your competition to prove to the inspector that the 12VDC and 1.05 cfm is not exceeded.

They are substantially lighter than the previous KOP compressors.
