Re: Pneumatic system

Whether or not it's legal, it doesn't make sense. In practically all cases, the solenoids use air faster than the compressor can generate it. Without a tank, the compressor would have to come on every time you actuate something, and run until it makes enough air to do the work.

That said, unless there's something in the rules that says that it is required, it is not.
