Re: Compressor Rule Question

Far as I know, rules pertaining to the robot config itself apply during matches but not necessarily in the pits or practice field.
If you think that we can violate game rules in the pits, then I should be able to have an alternate pickup arm for the practice field so I don't break my competition arm. When swapping them out would obviously be against the rules.

I do not see the words "on the playing field" in R79. You're only allowed one compressor. Period.
