Then I pulled a piece of tubing off one of the cylinders on an old robot... fired up the pneumatics system and stuffed the end of the tube into the valve on the ringer. A perfect... albeit a bit tight... fit.

The robot can inflate the ringer. How cool is that?

You don't need a special connection to fill it with a shop compressor nozzle. Assuming you're using a nozzle that has one of those conical rubber fittings on the end. Just stick it in the valve and let it rip.
