Re: Recharging Robot Pneumatics with Air Tool compressor

The way some shop air compressors are made they have a pressure wave that is higher then their rating. Where I works we have over 100 compressors in coach's. They have 2 or 3 safety valves depending on the brand of coach. The safety valve by the tanks is set at 150 psi and by the compressor is set at 200 psi. By the time the pressurized air has traveled the 20 plus feet between the high and low safety valves the wave has smoothed out. The air coming out of the cylinder of an compressor is higher then the rating of most compressors. Please just use what FRC wants you to use.
