Re: Off robot air compressor

Al, that last post covers the topic very well.

I only want to add, for the benefit of those who may not have met Al at an FRC event yet, that he is one of the most experienced and graciously professional volunteers associated with FIRST. The view that he expresses above is directly in line with the stated intention of FIRST, reinforced by increased support in recent seasons, to make safety the top priority.

Because of this am confident that the off-robot compressor rules (conservative as they may be) will be applied as written at all 2007 FRC events. All teams should plan and design their robots accordingly.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
