I had originally hoped to put the spike (and related components) on a separate board with the compressor, but Adam is correct -- it's relatively quite light, so I don't mind leaving it on the robot.

BTW, actual weight savings is 2.3lbs ... 4.3lbs for the compressor, minus 2 extra tanks (13.9oz each) + mounting (~4oz).

Mr. Bill -- thanks! I haven't done any work with the controls/software yet, but I know the controls guys are still bashing heads with tech support to resolve some basic operational issues. I'll pass this along.

Cheers,
-Neil.
