Re: Filling pneumatic system in queue?

We've got an onboard compressor, and we made use of our older larger compressors by mounting three on one board so we can attach our robot to these offboard compressors, which are powered by their own battery, thus eliminating the need to tether. With three bigger compressorsrs charging the robot while it is off, we save onboard battery power, and fill up our tanks to the right pressure in less than a mere 10-20 seconds, to my estimation. I'll have to time this process so I have a concrete number.
