Re: Layout of off-board compressor (featuring sweet pics)
See images 4-16 and 4-17 in the Robot Rules, R85/86.
You need to have the pressure relief valve (the blow off valve set to 125PSI) attached directly to the compressor, and a second relief valve on the robot (R87)
You can have the regulator, pressure switch, and pressure gauge (for stored pressure) either on board or off board, so long as they are all together - either all on or all off. If they are off board, then you only have 60 PSI available for storage on the robot.
Most teams will plug it into the manual pressure vent valve in order to charge their system. If you do this, make sure there is a second manual valve somewhere so there is a way to relieve the pressure manually even while charging the robot.
