Re: Legal compressors?
Per R79:

Compressed air on the ROBOT must be provided by one and only one compressor. Compressor specifications may not exceed nominal 12VDC, 1.05 cfm flow rate.

So, if it's powered by 12VDC with max flow rate of 1.05cfm, you're in business.
But, the better question is why do you have compressor failures? My team has used the same compressor for three years now. It's a Viair...I assume that's what you mean by "small compressor". Are you overheating it? I've run into a couple teams that ran the compressor well past its duty cycle (the Viair Spec says 9% -- yes, that's NINE percent) who ran into trouble. One large fan blowing on the top heatsink goes a long way to keeping that motor cool.
