When is the compressor supposed to run in competition?

[DonRotolo]

Disabled means just that: not enabled. The compressor must not run then.

Just before you leave your pit, on your way to the match, you tether and enable your robot, let the air pressure build up, and then shut down, put in a fresh battery, and go get in queue (line) for the match.

If you dont have many leaks, the pressure will hold for the 5 minutes until the match starts. (otherwise, fix those leaks!)

Perfect, thanks.

Your pressure should hold for over an hour assuming you have an accumulator. If it doesn't, you should find & fix the leaks. Soapy water can be used to find them.

My new best friend for leak finding is a cheap stethoscope from Harbor Freight. $5 and you have a mess free leak detection method. Wish I would have realized this years ago
