Re: Powering an external compressor

R80 Is pretty clear "powered by the robot" & applies to when in the pits.

It is not really a issue unless you are short of batteries. Just charge the tank & put a fresh battery on the robot. Same as you would if the compressor was on the robot.

You would need a 20+ amp power supply to run the robot with the compressor. Batteries are less expensive and more useful.
