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.
Also, the tank is a part of the robot, therefore has to be included in the transportation configuration.
