Could you, theoretically speaking, use the robot earlier in the competition to fill up additional storage tanks, or a singular large tank, that could then be used to top off the robot in eliminations?

The robot's on-board compressor would have filled up those tanks (or tank), meaning the air was provided by a single compressor, meaning that you would still have all air provided by the one compressor, and the compressor would maintain a lower temperature during eliminations due to not needing to run between matches as well as during them.

EDIT: Jon Stratis quoted the relevant passage. This would not be permitted.
