Re: Recharging Robot Pneumatics with Air Tool compressor

Please correct me quoting a rule from the manual if I am incorrect.
Here is the full rule which I believe answers your question.

R80
Off-board compressors are permitted, however the compressor must be controlled and powered by the ROBOT.

(Blue Box)
The compressor may be mounted on the ROBOT, or it may be left off the ROBOT and used to pre-charge compressed air in storage tanks on the ROBOT

The intent of this rule is to permit teams to take advantage of the weight savings associated with keeping the compressor off-board. However, using the compressor off-board of the ROBOT does NOT permit non-compliance with any other applicable rules.
