But unfortunately not substantially changed. The rules about off-board compressors are among the silliest in FIRST. From an engineering point of view I don't see any difference between air supplied by one compressor or another as long as they are at the same pressure. If there is a difference I wish somebody would provide us with a clear explanation as to what it is.

At the same time the rule is not that hard to comply with so as an Inspector I have to enforce it. I just don't have to like it.
