Re: [YMTC]: Inspect Redabot's Pneumatics

To provide even more information:

Redabot's set-up is illegal. It is a violation of Rule <R97>.
Quote:
<R97> The Nason pressure swtich must be connected to the output end of one of the Clippard tanks to sense the tank's pressure. The two wires from the pressure switch must be conneted directly to a digital input and ground terminal on the Robot Controller, and the controller must be programmed to sense the state of the switch and operate the spike relay that powers the compressor. The Parker Pressure Vent valve must be connected to a Clippard tank such that, when manually operated, it will vent to the atmosphere to relieve any stored pressure. The valve must be placed on the robot so that it is visible and accessible.
Since the RC is not controlling the compressor, utilizing the input from the pressure switch, Redabot is in violation. It is also a violation of this question from the Q&A system. QED.
