Re: Amount of tanks

You could do what 675 is toying with: A T-valve between the tanks and the pump. Add all 4 tanks. Charge in the pit, close T valve, disconnect pump (which ISN'T mounted to the robot), go to compete. As long as you have the regulation valve for the system at 60psi, you could charge the tanks at a higher pressure (we've been using 110psi for testing) which gives you more use out of the actuators.

Also, no mounted tank = Less weight and less power sap.
