Tethering is only illegal on the field (violation of G9). There is no prohibition on tethering in the que. One rule to be careful of: Don't move the robot out of transport configuration while in the que (Q299).

We've got an onboard compressor, and we made use of our older larger compressors by mounting three on one board so we can attach our robot to these offboard compressors, which are powered by their own battery, thus eliminating the need to tether. With three bigger compressorsrs charging the robot while it is off, we save onboard battery power, and fill up our tanks to the right pressure in less than a mere 10-20 seconds, to my estimation. I'll have to time this process so I have a concrete number.

This is not legal. Or safe.

Frank,

All air on the robot must come from ONE compressor with a max flow rate of 1.05 controlled by the roboRIO. Your team agrees to this when signing the inspection sheet.

Just to be specific, here is the rule:
