I just checked, it wasn't specifically asked on the Q&A this past year. Regardless, R79 is very clear - your robot can only have one source of compressed air. Filling it with an off board compressor then using a different on board compressor during the match is two sources. If you dump pressure before the match, your fine... And as an LRI, that's what I'll do if I see a team charging with an off board compressor while having one on board.
