We appreciate all of Al's input on our robot, matter of fact he saved us at Milwaukee last year. So we appreciate all of his efforts.

But anyways if I remember correctly it had to do with the diagram in the rule book showing the off board compressor options. We read it as this is "what you need to have" while the rule was "this is only what you could have" off your robot for pneumatics systems. And since there were no tanks in the off board section of the diagrams, the tank was not allowed.
