Yes, that would be considered illegal. All compressed air must be provided by the one compressor used for the robot (either on-board or off-board, not both), and be charged but the robot battery while under cRio control - essentially, you have to have your robot sitting there in order to charge your tanks.

Further, I would question the safety of moving, handling, and mounting air tanks while they are fully pressurized.
