Someone can advise if this would be unsafe. I don't see why it would be, but I am not all-knowing.
With the new control system, there is no (accessible) breaker for the compressor; power comes directly from the PCM. You can unplug the compressor from the PCM, but then you will have to deal with a dangling wire and remembering how to plug it in when you want to use it. It's probably easier to just disable it with code, and then you can re-enable it remotely without needing to power off the robot, find the wire, etc.
