Re: compressor is heating up to the point it blows hose

Not overkill for us. We keep most of our robots for years serving as showbots. Sometimes they run 8 or 9 hours a day, with small breaks.

We have two arial assist bots and they use a lot of compressed air, and we blow tubes all the time from heat fatigue. I'd pay money for a good heat exchanger.

Most teams don't need that much cooling but there are enough around that could probably use it.

if anyone see one, please post it.
