R806       *Compressed air from robot compressor only. Throughout an event, compressed air on the Robot must be provided by its 1 onboard compressor only. Compressor specifications must not exceed nominal 1.1 cfm (~519 cm3/s) flow rate @ 12VDC at any pressure.

A Robot’s compressor may be substituted by another compressor, but a Robot may only have 1 designated compressor at a time, and all compressed air on the Robot must be sourced from a single compressor.

Note: Viair C-series compressors, which have a max working pressure of 120 PSI, are rated for intermittent pressures greater than 125 PSI and therefore meet the requirements of this rule.

R807       *Air storage pressure limit. Stored air pressure on the Robot must be no greater than 120 psi (~827 kPa). No stored air pressure intended for the Robot may be located off-board the Robot.
Rule R808
R808       *Working air pressure limit. Working air pressure (air pressure used to actuate devices) on the Robot must be no greater than 60 psi (~413 kPa) and must be provided through a single primary adjustable, relieving, pressure regulator.

R801       *Only use explicitly permitted pneumatic parts. To satisfy multiple constraints associated with safety, consistency, inspection, and constructive innovation, no pneumatic parts other than those explicitly permitted in this section shall be used on the Robot.
