A word of warning. We ordered the new compressors and ran them through a series of tests against the old ones. We found that the new ones move significantly less air than the big thomas ones. We've decided to use the Thomas compressor on our robot, because we need more air. Essentially, the specs that they give come from the compressor running at 13.8 volts, when you scale it down to the 12v that we can give it, then the CFM drops.
