The rules state that if you are filling a tank that is filled before a match it falls under the "off-board compressor" category. You must plumb and wire the cylinder as if you are using the compressor to fill it during a match, the only difference is that you don't have to have it plumbed to the compressor during the match. Once again ALL PLUMBING AND WIRING MUST BE DONE BY THE RULES EVEN IF NOT USING THE COMPRESSOR TO PRESSURIZE THE TANK DURING A MATCH. So yes you need the pressure switch even though your filling it before the match so when your filling it before a match the robot uses the switch to stop the compressor at the right pressure. see rules <r101> <r102> and <r103>
