The posters are correct. You can only use one compressor. On board or off board is up to you. There are rules that govern what must be used with an on board compressor and other rules for the off board compressor. Working with compressed air can be very dangerous. FIRST has allowed the use on the robots with many safety requirements that must be met. I agree that some may not seem necessary but it is better to err on the way of safety.

The rules for what is allowed and not allowed are quite clear. Please read and follow them to the word. For teams that have been competing for a while, read the rules as they have changed a bit this year.
