Kirk,
All robot rules apply. You must have the minimum requirements for a pneumatic system. Gages, pressure switch, tank(s), regulator, relief valve, spike, breaker, compressor, etc. You will be asked to demonstrate that the compressor is under the control of the RC and automatically shuts off at 120 PSI under software control during the inspection process, just as if the compressor was on the robot. These rules are the same as previous years.
