Tom,
Since it looks like you are going the Centerline for week 1 where I will be the LRI I would like to tell you that I see no provisions in the rules for off board storage of air, just provisions for an off board compressor. Additionally, the illustrations with R85 & R86 explicitly show the air storage on board the robot. Unless there is a rule update, relevant Q&A or specific instructions from the Chief FRC Inspector, I do not see off board air storage as legal. It can absolutely be done safely, but I don't think it is legal at this time. Feel free to make a counter argument.
