Re: Off robot air compressor
As a note, the system they are making us use is very dangerous. Nobody has another relief valve we can use so we bleed off the line from compressor to robot. So when we are done filling, we are pulling off a pressurized 120psi line. Very bad. The system we had before was much more safe, with a quick release and everything. We were too safe for the rules. 
At least they aren't making us use a Spike.
One odd thing though is that they said we may use whatever tank we want off the robot.
Nothing against inspectors, they are just enforcing the rule. But the rule is putting us in danger, and is highly illogical. My 120psi air is just as good as your 120psi air, is it not?. Air is air. The only difference is in safety while filling, and our old system was superior. Regulated and quick released, and impossible to be over 100 psi.
PS. does anyone have the exact corresponding rule from last year?
