And be prepared to demonstrate it for the inspectors. They will need to verify:
- You are using the FRC approved compressor
- That it is powered by the FRC approved battery
- That the compressor is controlled by the roboRio
- That all pneumatic requirements are applied to the compressor setup as well as the pneumatic system on the bot (we put regulators, pressure release valves, and indicators on both setups i.e. everything required to be on the robot was also put on the compressor setup)
We have successfully done this several times and with the old compressors it saved us on weight. With the new compressors being so lightweight you must be in a real estate or weight crunch to need to keep it off-board.
