rbayer is correct. DO NOT connect the pressure switch in series (directly to) the compressor! You will break your pressure switch. Instead, connect the switch to the Digital Inputs on the Robot Controller as per page 13 of "The Robot" section of the manual. The pressure switch can be located physically anywhere before the 60 PSI regulator. Most teams put it on their reservoir (air tank).
