Using an additional battery or compressor is pretty clearly against the rules. I'm not so sure about the practice of swapping batteries between precharging the pneumatic system and running the match. You're never using more than one battery to run anything, so you don't run afoul of the rule requiring only one battery.

Can anyone find a rule that states the pressurized air in the robot at the start of the match must have been supplied by the exact same battery used to run the robot for that match? I don't think there is one.
