Re: Air Compressor allowed in the pits?
RI's tend to have a real problem with Air Compressors. Assuming they let you have one, it will only last as long as the first time you trip a breaker. At that point, you will be TOLD to remove the Air Compressor from the venue, and all the teams on your electrical circuit will be very upset with your team.

In summary: Air Compressors (other than the one on your robot) are not a good idea.

Note: You may want to show that you have no means (incompatible fittings) to connect the compressor to your robot (R68), and swear there are no adapters in your pit.
