Notice the difference between "is required" and "is not required" - I guess it's not surprising that there's so much confusion over this rule...
Whoops! I'll take full responsibility for that one. An inspector pointed out that discrepancy to me last week. The "welcome doc" was not properly updated when it went to Rev D. Item #47 on page 12 should read "The team is required...".

Sorry about the confusion. FIRST is expecting that off-robot compressors will be wired and controlled exactly as if they were located on the robot (ie 20A breaker + Spike + on-robot battery + Nason pressure switch + RC to sense switch and enable the Spike).
