you have compressor.Start() in the OperatorControl loop. it should be in the initializer (where you have GetWatchdog().SetExpiiration(0.1), so your code becomes

	RobotDemo(void):
		myRobot(3, 4),	
		myRobot2(2, 1),
		myRobot3(5, 6),
		stick(1),
		stick2(2),
		stick3(3),
		compressor(1, 8)
		
	{
		compressor.Start();
		GetWatchdog().SetExpiration(0.1);
	}

Assuming you have a pressure switch hooked up to GPIO port 1 your compressor should stop at 120 psi

Also, why do you have 2 different robotDrives running with the same inputs? You can list 4 jaguars in the initializer of a single robotDrive and it will output to two motors per side.
