Pneumatics Wiring

I'm surprised that the compressor is connected directly to the PCM. See http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...he-2015-system.

Past (2014 etc), the wiring requirements included the PDB with a circuit breaker and a relay (which included a fuse).

Strikes me as odd.

How do we not need to same safety and isolation features?

Seems like we could still wire the compressor the old way, but why aren't we required to wire through the PDP?

Thoughts? Comments?
