Two Compressors
I have a question. Is it legal to use more than one compressor on the robot? I searched on CD and couldn't find an answer. Also when following the parts use flow chart I'm getting confused. If you consider the compressor a pnuematic item it seems to be allowed, but if you consider it a motor it isn't. We have several extra compressors since we aren't a rookie team. Does anyone have an answer. If there is an answer or an actual post I missed can someone please point it out to me.
The problem is we are using three large cylinders and the compressor and air tanks can't keep up. We even added extra lengths of tubing to increase storage. The two compressors will be wired separately with separate fuses but plumbed together. The max psi won't change but we will get increased volume to run the cylinders. This will also take the burden off of one compressor, and we also realize it will drain the battery quicker.
If anyone else has any other ideas I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Jason
