Re: Pneumatic Restrictions & Improvments

I would eliminate plastic storage tanks completely. I would consider requiring that storage tanks be mounted to avoid damage by contact with the field or other robots, but that would be a hard rule to word.

One issue with shop compressors is that almost all the venues are power limited. You don't have enough power in the pits to run 30-60 compressors at the same time. A side effect of limited the compressor capacity is the it limits the practical amount of stored air on the robot. Maybe limit the stored air volume & open up off robot compressor sizes?
