One more small addition, while this is right it probably is near impossible...

According to R80: Off-board compressors are permitted, however the compressor must be controlled and powered by the ROBOT.

This means that, due to the required pressure switch, this pressure will more likely be somewhere between 108 and 118 psi. The only way our switch has ever allowed 120 psi is when an inspector shorts it to test the relief valve. The one we used last year was our best of the three we have, and it only would reach 109 psi. The worst one shut off around 92 psi.
