Re: What do you think about mounting an air compressor vertically?

careful with rotating the head. If you dont put the o-ring correctly back in, which is a pain in the butt sometimes, you will completely mess up the seal. We tried with an old compressor once and figured it was not worth the time.

when mounting, please keep in mind that the compressor heats up. If its going to be around electronics, make sure there is some breathing room where things can get cooled. Otherwise, you will have a hot area on the robot that wont be good for compressor, electronics components, or other part in the area sensitive to high temperatures.
