I still don't understand the intention of the rule. We are thinking of using the same model compressor as the one used in competition. So it is not a more powerful shop compressor. Also, we will be wiring in the same pressure limiting switch and the same Spike as used in the system. The only difference is there is no cRIO. The limit switch directly controls the FWD input of the spike so when the pressure is reaching the limit PSI, it opens the circuit and the Spike will shut down the current to the compressor.
