Re: Compressor blowing spike fuses or melting spikes
The compressor can and will blow the 20A ATO fuses. Many teams have experienced this, including since this season, my own. Also, when under strenuous operation the compressor CAN get VERY hot. Be sure to remember this when working on your robot in the pits, burns are no fun.

I haven't however, heard of the compressor killing spikes.
