You appear to be biased by prior year's rules limiting the number of tanks to 4 and not reading what the rule actually says.

In addition to the items included in the KOP, pneumatic system items specifically permitted on 2011 FRC ROBOTS include the following items.....

This means that any pneumatic storage tank that costs less than $400, is rated to 125PSI working and 250PSI burst, and physically fits inside the robot starting volume constraints may be used. You may use as many as you can fit in your budget or on your robot, whichever is less.
