Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread

OK,
From experience in week 2 events. You were only shipped one pressure gauge in the KOP this year. That does not mean you only need one gauge. Two are required, one to display high pressure and one to display low pressure.

There are rules that apply for off-board compressors so if you choose, those rules also apply. If you don't quite understand the off-board rules, think that the system design must be the same as if everything was on the robot. All of the same parts are required and the same power on test as well. You can have certain parts off board but the compressor must still be controlled by the Crio, pressure switch and Spike and the power must come from the robot battery not a second battery.
