I agree Nick. My original post was unclear in that I was discussing air on the robot only.

Shop air depends on the venue; many are power-limited and even a small compressor could pop a breaker, although some have plenty of power and are OK with big compressors used for tools and harassing freshmen.

The point is, air on the robot is to be supplied by only one compressor. You can't use a second compressor to add air to the robot, regardless of how much better for your robot you feel it will be.
