This would be an applicable rule

Compressed air on the ROBOT must be provided by one and only one compressor. Compressor specifications may not exceed nominal 12VDC, 1.05 cfm flow rate.
If you were to use a shop compressor, you would 1) be using an illegal compressor, or 2) you would be using more than one compressor which is also illegal.
