Re: Pneumatics Refilling

Yes, the robot would need to be powered up and running code to charge the compressor (use an old battery to fill your tanks, if you can).

Check out this thread on specifics of how you should be setting up an off-board compressor:

Be sure to double check all of the rules - they indicate very well which parts need to be on the robot when your compressor is off-board.
