Do you have any idea how many relief valves I've had to help teams set at competition? The above setups would not have had that protection in their shops at home, as most often these relief valves come from the factory set well above 150 psi.

-Connecting the compressor to a drill battery No
-Connecting the compressor to a robot battery with breaker No
-Programming the robot to run the compressor an additional 10 seconds after the pressure switch says its full to fill all the way to 125 psi because the pressure switch stops at 115 psi.No
-Programming the robot in auto to run the compressor non stop and let excess pressure vent through the relief valveNo
-Having a button on the computer that runs the compressor when held, used to charge a system at 95 psi to 115 psi before a match startsNo
-Having a button on the computer that runs the compressor when held, used to charge the system until the relief valve starts releasing airNo

-shorting out the pressure switch to run compressorNo

The rules are pretty clear...
