<R95> The compressor may be mounted on the robot, or if teams prefer, they may leave it off their robot, and
pre-charge and store compressed air in the storage tanks prior to bringing their robot onto the playing field. If
you elect to use pneumatics on your robot, your pneumatic system must contain as a minimum the following
components, connected in accordance with this section.
• Pressure gauges to display the “working” and “stored” air pressure.
• An accessible pressure vent valve to manually relieve the stored pressure
This seems to say you do not need the compressor, if your prefer, and can charge it prior to a match.
