Re: Mounting compressor upside down

Coach,
There is no rule about compressor orientation but there are a few things to consider.
1. If you use the rubber isolators to mount, they are not intended to be used in tension and so have a tendency to fail over time.
2. The compressor gets hot and heat rises, putting the heat back into the compressor body.
3. It hard to see if it is running by looking into the robot.
