Re: pic: Team 399 BellyPan

Very nice, very clean layout.

One suggestion - it looks, from the picture, that you have all of the pneumatics connected to the fitting on the compressor. You might consider moving them away and using a piece of tubing to connect the compressor to the pneumatics set.

In 2013, we had just a few components connected to that fitting and we cracked two of the compressor housings. That material is cast and is thin. We went through 3 compressors before we determined the cause was the stress on that part of the casting because that load will vibrate significantly while the compressor runs.
