1) It depends on the number of shifts you want to perform. You will need to do calculations to determine the loss of air at each shift. Longer hose runs will start to affect the number of shift actuations. We have a good presentation on this
here.
2) You can have one offboard compressor powered by the robot (the
battery installed in the robot). The 44 cu in tank @120 psi should suffice if you're shifting occasionally.
3) Take a look at the VEX Pro Ball Shifters. They are pretty slick.
