In OCCRA, we connect the compressor switch to an automotive relay which runs the pump. The pressure switch is still controlling the pressure in the system, just through a relay instead of the Cortex. That way, we can bring the robots onto the field empty, turn on the power switch, and let them pump up while team introductions and vex auto are running.
