Re: On board compressor vs Stored air

be sure to figure in the little bit of extra effort required to make sure the tank is full before each match. And the fun of having a small leak that drains the storage tank during a match, but if you had a compressor on board, it would not be a problem. We had offboard compressor our rookie year (mainly because no one was keeping track of weight and the robot was way over weight), but on board ever since. I'm a fan of KISS and that means making it easy for the drive team, by not making them do any extra work.
