Re: Legal compressors?
If you haven't I would take advantage of positioning one of the large papst fans provided in the kit of parts at the top heatsink. It made the difference between near instantaneous burns and being uncomfortable to hold onto for a couple of seconds last year in our pneumatic intensive robot.

It definitely presents a strong case for active cooling, and our compressor was (and still is) reliable for 2 competitions, 2 off-seasons and a build-season scrimmage.
