Re: When is the compressor supposed to run in competition?

That is exactly when it will run - and it will run when the system's pressure falls to the point where it needs to be recharged. You will need to have sufficient air storage (the cylindrical "Clipper" tanks) on your robot to make sure you start off each match with enough air.

You can activate your teleop mode in the pit, just before you queue up for a match, to pre-charge your air system.
