Not necessarily. We can connect the compressor to the pneumatic wheels, with a regulator in the middle, and fill this "pneumatic system" with the compressor. This would save labor and be a bit more consistent than the bicycle pump we've been using.

Besides, looking through the rules, it seems that a helium balloon would have a hard time meeting the requirements of R75: "All pneumatic items must be COTS pneumatic devices rated by their manufacturers for working pressure of at least 120psi"
So this helium balloon would need to have a working pressure of 120psi.
