Using a compressor for non-robot uses (such as blowing out dust and such) should be absolutley no problem, so long as that compressor isn't used to pump up tanks onboard the robot.
And nothing says that you can't have the robot's compressor on the cart, provided that you hook it into the system properly (legally) to fill the tanks between matches. Why have two when you can have one?
