Re: Compressor included in weight?

You need to decide whether or not you NEED a compressor on board. If some type of pneumatic device is powering a crucial part of your robot, like something that will actuated a bunch of times, then a compressor would be required incase your air supply runs out. But if you only need no more than 4 full tanks of air on your bot, then leave it off for the weight.
