Re: Enabling the compressor on boot

Due to safety, nothing can be run unless the driver station is connected and set to enabled. Starting the compressor at boot isn't possible. What teams typically do is hook up with a tether cable and enable the robot either in the pit or in the queue line, so that the tanks are full at the beginning of the match. After the match starts, then the compressor will run to replace any lost air.
