Re: Powering two compressors with one PCM

If this is for the competition robot, you may want to start by reading R79 of the 2016 Manual (and take a guess that it's likely to be the same for next year). Given that rule, I would find it highly unlikely that the PCM is designed to handle more than one compressor. (Short version: No more than one compressor on the robot.)


If it's for a non-competition robot, carry on. But you may need to consider the power draw through the PCM of that second compressor.
