Re: Rule# R88

Yea, I agree.
See if I've forgotten anything here...

On the robot-side:
The black handle dump valve would get another push-to-connect screw fitting giving your external feeder tubing a place to connect to.
The extra robot-side dump valve comes out altogether.

On the off-board compressor-side:
The external feeder tubing would T into the off-board compressor. On the other branch of the T would be the additional dump valve venting to the atmosphere.

To use it-
  1. Connect the compressor feeder tubing to the robot's dump valve.
  2. Open the robot's dump valve
  3. Close the compressor-side dump valve
  4. Hookup the compressor to the robot spike
  5. Power up the robot & Enable from the Driver Station to start the compressor
  6. Shutoff the robot when fully charged
  7. Close the robot-side dump valve
  8. Open the Compressor-side dump valve to the atmosphere
  9. Disconnect the now unpressurized feeder tube from the robot
