Baldwin,
The pneumatics rules are structured such that if you want to use pneumatics on your robot, the system must have at minimum the components shown in the rules. If you choose to place the compressor off board to gain a weight advantage, the system must still conform to the minimum system with the small addition described for off board compressors. If you just using pneumatics for shifting, off board compressors are an excellent choice. In either case, your pneumatics can only use a legal compressor with the minimum system to fill the tanks.
