Well, now all of the GP posts are gone, with it some of the facts. The compressor was a 120v commercial model, like the type used for nail & impact guns, certainly more powerful by orders of magnitude than the one in the KOP. I believe it was an Ingersol-Rand. No regulator, over-pressure safety, etc. I do not know if there was an additional compressor on board the robot.

Still a silly rule?
