R40 doesn't apply to wiring that doesn't have a constant polarity, like the outputs of speed controllers.

For Compressor Power, the inspection checklist says “under control of the robotRIO”. Is this different from the rules, “must still be controlled and powered by the ROBOT”?

It's a combination of "must still be controlled and powered by the ROBOT", "The two wires from the pressure switch must be connected directly the pressure switch input of the PCM controlling the compressor or, if controlled using the roboRIO and a Spike relay, to the roboRIO." (R77-C), and "If connected to the roboRIO, the roboRIO must be programmed to sense the state of the switch and operate the relay module that powers the compressor to prevent over-pressuring the system." (R77-D).

During the Power On Check, Confirm Pneumatics Operation - Does this mean that we have to have the compressor start when the robot is first enabled? What if we do not want it to?

Not sure about that one.
