Andy or Billfred have you tested the "THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR" that is described on the label? Is this something that might effect teams during matches?
Hey Allen,

We actually have run a prototype of this compressor on a full-weight robot chassis for just over an hour with two battery changes. This chassis was equipped with a pneumatic system with two 35 CI Clippard tanks to run new prototype shifting transmissions, with a high frequency of shifting cycles. The compressor's thermal protection system never kicked in.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
