I thought about doing that on our robot, but I don't think it's legal.

<R98> “Working” air pressure on the ROBOT must be no greater than 60psi. All working air must
be provided through the Norgen adjustable pressure regulator, and all other pneumatic
components must be downstream from this regulator. A pressure gauge must be placed
adjacent to the pressure regulator and display the downstream pressure.
