I don't recall where I read it, but I do understand that at some venues, the robot may not be enabled in the queue. If you need air to stay within the frame perimeter, you may have to charge the tanks in the pits.

It is probably worthwhile to find a way to stay inside the frame perimeter that does not require the air. On one of our robots, we had a part that was held in by a light bit of yarn that the robot broke early in each match.
