Just one more thought, you might want to get one of the newer compressors that move 20% more air and have about 1/2 the weight of the old ones. We bought one last week (still waiting for delivery) the model is the viair 090c, here is a link to the only place that sells it that has decent information: http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...con/00090.html

A word of warning. We ordered the new compressors and ran them through a series of tests against the old ones. We found that the new ones move significantly less air than the big thomas ones. We've decided to use the Thomas compressor on our robot, because we need more air. Essentially, the specs that they give come from the compressor running at 13.8 volts, when you scale it down to the 12v that we can give it, then the CFM drops.

I loved attending West Michigan!! It is truly one of the greatest competitions around. All of you make us feel so welcome when we attend. This year of course being a host team we are doing Kettering and we wanted to try Ann Arbor. BOB is such a great team and we always look forward to seeing what all of you have built because we know it will be spectacular!!! Tell Craig the pit ad min guy I said HI!! I trained him and if I must say so, I did an awesome job!!!!
