The pneumatic system is slowly leaking and the team is concerned they won't have a successful auto mode because their shooter is pneumatic fed and the on board charger won't be able to adequately charge the system enough when the match starts. They can't risk draining their battery either prior to the match to top off their system.
Meanwhile, Veteran team with an off board compressor on their cart doesn't hesitate to recharge their system during the delay because it isn't effecting their match battery at all.
That seems to be a large advantage to me. Just follow the rules.

If 9999's alliance partner 340 were to hand 9999 a fresh battery from 340's stash, so that they could switch before the match, would someone be breaking the same rule?
More to the point, not every imbalance is a rule violation.
