The on board relief valve will limit you to 125 psi or so. If the team is going to readjust that after inspection then they are willing to cheat in other ways as well? Typically one of the things the robot inspectors are looking at in queue is the storage & working pressures.

Since you are not limited (2014 at least) in storage volume, the difference between an unregulated air source & legal source could be 15 -20 minutes in extreme cases. Personally I would prefer they limit on board storage volume, but that would be harder to inspect for.
