Well it has to be included within the transport configuration dimensions of the robot (28x42x78) ie physically placed inside that perimeter until the tank can be relocated elsewhere when placed on the field. For example, couldn't the tank sit within an area intended for tote intake/processing during transport, then moved to an external area when placed on the field?
Seems to be this is still in the spirit of "On-board the robot" even if the air isn't physically connected to the regulator/valve inlets until it gets on the field.
