R69 The compressor (permitted per R68) may be located off-board, however the compressor must still be controlled and powered by the ROBOT.
You can, however, fill the tanks with the robot compressor before a match.

However, using the compressor off-board of the ROBOT does NOT permit non-compliance with any other applicable rules.
