Re: How's our set-up?

We put them all in one row this year because it made sense to the rest of the robot. Last year, we had the compressor and relief together, tubing connecting to the switch and high-side gauge together, and then another length of tubing to the switch (to make the switch easier to reach). So no particular benefit.

Just make the dials easy to see, the release easy to reach, and the relief and regulators easy enough to adjust.
