Re: R68: One and only one compressor

Last year, I specifically asked a Q&A question about this. You can absolutely have more than one air compressor at a competition just like you can have more than 6 CIM motors at a competition. You can only have 6 CIMs on your robot at one time and you can only use one air compressor to put air into your robot...but you can have backups and you can use a different air compressor for different matches.

People always claim that this rule is clearly worded and yet there is always a discussion about interpretation.
