Re: Pneumatic Restrictions & Improvments

A proposed tweak to the rule:

"All compressed air on the robot at any time must be provided by one and only one compressor [that meets the specs in the rules]."

What this tweak does is it allows the use of multiple compressors, but only one can be used to fill the robot and keep it filled. You can HAVE as many as you want on-hand, but if you fill the tanks with one, you have to drain the tanks before filling with another. And, they all have to meet the specs--no shop compressors can be used to fill the robot.
