I agree -- I don't know of a rule that prohibits shop compressors in the pits. However, using one to fill your ROBOT's tanks, for any reason, would violate a number of rules -- airflow, one and only one compressor, and control of the compressor by the CRIO. I don't understand why anyone would think that a robot isn't a ROBOT just because it's not on the competition field.
As for the "I don't see any rule that says you can't" justification -- I don't see anything that says I can't use depleted uranium for ballast on my robot.
