The expectation is that you use the robot controller on the robot to run the compressor using the default code. You may mount the spike and compressor together off the robot. You may even charge the system through the relief valve. As Team Update 18 outlines...
"Off-board compressors – We would like to remind teams that Rule <R95>
allows a team to leave the Kit-Of-Parts compressor off the robot but still use it
to charge their pneumatics system with pressurized air, thereby saving
weight and volume on the robot. However, Rule <R95> does NOT allow a
team to bypass any of the other pneumatic or electrical system rules. In
particular, even if the compressor is located off-board of the robot, the robot
and compressor must still be in compliance with Rule <R90>, Rule <R96>,
and Rule <R97>.
We recognize that inspectors were given more lenient guidelines, but want to
make sure that all teams are aware of the expectations and will be held
accountable for this pneumatics configuration going forward."
The compressor must be powered by the main battery via a 20 amp circuit breaker and a spike which may also have a 20 amp circuit breaker instead of the fuse. This would allow teams to remove the weight of the compressor and spike and some wiring from the robot overall weight without violating any of the other robot rules concerning electrical wiring protection or maximum pressure (limited by the RC and pressure switch).
