Before you start attacking and calling people cheaters, I'd like you to show me a post where somebody argues that they can legally use two compressors at the same time.
Wrong. You'd better read up on what "one and only one" means. It means the same compressor must always be used. If that compressor breaks, you cannot fill your robot anymore. Obviously this makes no sense, so this is why we're having this discussion.
Wrong again! The one and only one compressor refers to compressors providing compressed air.
Please read the manual.

You should reread rule 79

Compressed air on the ROBOT must be provided by one and only one compressor. Compressor specifications may not exceed nominal 12VDC, 1.05 cfm flow rate.

It doesn't restrict anyone from having more than one compressor just only one that compresses air for the robot.
And this was also clarified this year through the Q/A question #209

Q. Rule R79: "compressed air on the ROBOT must be provided by one and only one compressor." 1) We can only use one compressor at a time, but can swap out compressors (e.g. if the one we are using starts to overheat). 2) We can only use one compressor for an entire event. Which reading is correct?

A. Situation 1, but also consider T8 and T10.
