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.

Umm, I would say that kind of stretches the meaning of "on-board storage." I would ask at the Q&A to be sure, but a simple fix would be to just keep the tank hooked up to the system at all times, and simply move it outside the robot while keeping the hoses connected.
