Re: Compressors vs. Accumulators

I decided this year, I didn't want a pneumatic system anywhere near our bot. I hate the weight of the compressor, but I hate all the goofy rules required to charge a bot without a compressor on board even more. It turned out we needed pneumatics so I decided to go with the comp on board this year. Reason is last year they made the charging system rules very strange and they do that every year. It becomes very stressfull before a match when that portable compressor setup doesn't work, or pass the "todays new inspection rules". I think from now on if I go with pneumatics, the compressor will be on board. Unless theres a serious weight issue. Plus these kit systems always leak, you need a constant supply if you use them much.
