Re: On board compressor vs Stored air
If you know just what you're going to use the air for, and have a good cap on how many times you'll need air in the match, it's probably worth going 20-50% over and accept the risk of needing it a few extra times.
However, if you do make this compromise, seriously consider your selection, wiring, and plumbing of solenoid valves. I heartily recommend that you use single solenoid valves (with spring return), figure out which state is preferred in the unlikely event that you do run out of air, and plumb/wire the system so if the air runs out, you have that default state. (For robots with shifters designed for speed, I'd rather be stuck in low than stuck in high; if designed for pushing wars, possibly in high.)
