I envision a propane-tank-sized accumulator fit to the side of the bot, pressurized off the bot and closed with a valve, then attached to the pressure loop on the bot during the 1-minute field prep.

R70 “Stored” air pressure on the ROBOT must be no greater than 120 psi. No stored air pressure intended for the ROBOT may be located off-board the ROBOT.
So no
