You must use the cylinder that was provided and you may get three more cylinders using the Custom Cylinder Order Form..
See the Part Use Flowchart.

36F

Which is sorta strange. We MUST use the cylinder that was in the kit? What if we don't need that one?

I agree it's sort of strange to REQUIRE using that cylinder, But you could always use it as an auxiliary accumulator. That is acceptable as long as the piston does not move and you do not modify it in any way. If it gives you enough extra volume that you don't have to recharge your system during a match then you could leave off the compressor and save weight too.
