Last year we were overweight and removed our compressor, opting instead to charge the air tanks before each match.
I believe it is the pressure blow off valve that cannot be removed, not the pressure sensor. In 2003, we ran without a sensor. That's where CJO got the code from. We used the wheel since we didnt have any more buttons on the controller to map the function to. We controlled it manually since we were having power regulation problems and decided to kill the compressor completely for the last 30-45 seconds of the match.
