Re: What do you think about mounting an air compressor vertically?
I don't know if there is a rule against it, but i would find it a little dangerous.
First of all, the heat that the compressed air creates would be enough to maybe melt the rubber of pnumatic tubing or some wires. Be careful that you dont place the compressor near any of that. Second, You want to be able to secure the compressor to the frame, but allow it to move a little. The legs that came with it in the Kit of Parts are vibration reducers. I would suggest using them, but also secure the robot. Check section 8 of the rule book, pnumatics manual on the FIRST website and look for that rule. Good luck! Jacob |
