There was a big issue last year at one of the regionals where a team was using a shop compressor in the pits to recharge their tanks in between elimination rounds. This potentially allowed them to recharge their tanks faster than otherwise would have been possible for teams following rule R80.
This caused a bit of an uproar here on CD, which makes me believe regionals will be looking more closely at teams with such compressors in their pits this year to make sure they are following the rules.
