Re: Compressor Rule Question
I think the bigger issue can come in with pneumatics and the battery. If you precharge your system with a "fill" battery wouldn't that violate R34 being that the stored air on your system was from a second battery making you have a two battery power system. If the compressor off board is the exact same as the one on board of the robot wouldn't that be the same as switching the cost compressor between matches. It doesn't give any advantage to the team and in my opinion it is safer due to the system being less heated. I understand that two nonidentical compressors would be against the rules, but isn't swapping out two identical compressors the same as swapping out batteries between filling the system?
