PRESSURE SWITCH

[scifi3018]

That is also a reason why not to have to large an accumulator (not legal anyways)
but last year after our season, i wasnt at the meeting the night before an exibitoin we were going to, so the mechanical fools deicided that since our robot was pneumatics heavy (used a lot) that a larger accumulator would be a great idea. So they installed a 10lb 4ga Air tank on our bot. They experimented with it, and since the compressor had to work a lot more, is started to overheat, instead of realizing that they messed something up, they instead put 2 120mm fans near the compressor to cool it down.

When i got back, i was astonished at what the gigantic growth was, and asked about it, and got the answer.

Unfotunatley they didnt understand that 1unit of air at 60lbs provides the smae force as 4ga or air at 60lbs and that the compressor had to work x times harder to fill the large tank, draining our batter (exibition, not 2min mathces)

sigh

But its all better now, i tok the monstrosity out.
