All the inspectors seemed fine with this, and we used this technique through 2 different competitions. The inspectors just required that they could inspect both boards to make sure that they would both be legal if they were on the robot.
However, the 2011 wording is different from the 2013 wording, and it is always up to the Inspector on whether you can or can't do this.

If you then used the on board compressor during the match, it would be illegal. R80 only permits air from one source.
