I always consider your advise and rule quoting to be definative but don't see a clear or even a lawyered stretching of the rules to disallow what was suggested above in <R95>

<R95> Teams are not allowed to adjust the 125-psi relief valve. The valve has been calibrated
prior to shipping. The relief valve must be attached to the compressor. If the compressor is
not used on the ROBOT, then an additional relief valve must be obtained and included in the
primary pneumatic circuit on the ROBOT (see Rule <R91>).

As long as one doesn't adjust the lock nut thereby adjusting the calibration, isn't it legal to mount it anywhere in the primary pneumatic circiut? The text of <R91> follows.

<R91> If pneumatic components are used on the ROBOT, the pneumatic system on the ROBOT
must contain as a minimum the following components, connected in accordance with this
section.
 Pressure gauges to display the “working” and “stored” air pressure.
 An easily visible and accessible pressure vent valve to manually relieve the stored
pressure.
 A pressure relief valve, calibrated and set to release at 125psi.
 A pressure switch, calibrated and connected to the Robot Controller.

When we mounted this year's compresser it didn't have the relief valve mounted on it from the factory so we used an adaptor and put it on the side that allowed us more room for the rest of the fixutures. I'll change it if need be but need someone to point out my mis-reading of the quoted rules
