Re: pneumatic compressors?

It's legal provided you're using only one of the exact same compressor that you'd be using on your robot. And you have to wire it up with a pressure switch, to be controlled by the cRIO. Basically, your off-board compressor has to be exactly the same as the on-board one, except you detach it from the robot and don't run with it during a match.

If you saw anyone charging their robot with a shop air compressor, you should let them know that's not legal and help them rig up an FRC legal air compressor.
