That's right. The pressure switch and all other required pneumatics system elements must be present and functioning during pressurization, exactly as they would have been if the compressor were connected to the system during the match.

but once it is filled and onboard our robot we don't need that nason pressure switch? (because it is not even connected to a compressure so it would not function)

During pressurization the compressor must be powered by the robot's electrical system, and it must be controlled by the RC in response to the pressure switch, which must be connected to a digital RC input. Since you cannot remove the pressure switch from the tank after pressurization, I guess you still need it to keep the air in.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
