Re: pic: 4901 won't run out of air this season. That's for sure.

Our plan was to use the compressor off-board. If we needed extra weight...on it would go. The compressor is also roughly 15 pounds.

100% Duty cycle at 100 PSI. Charge time is 5 minutes from empty to full. We don't need to empty the system after every match. We would only do so in the times where we needed to. I also checked the rules for that.
Finals Could Be a problem if you have to fix something during that time.
