I'm inclined to disagree.

<R74> If pneumatic components are used on the ROBOT, the pneumatic system on the ROBOT must contain as a minimum
• Pressure gauges to display the “stored” and “working” air pressure (see Rule <R76>), the following components, connected in accordance with this section.
• A pressure relief valve, calibrated and set to release at 125psi (see Rule <R77>),
• A pressure switch, calibrated and connected to the ROBOT control system (see Rule <R78>),
• An easily visible and accessible pressure vent plug valve to manually relieve the stored pressure (see Rule <R79>).

That rule seems to indicate that the switch is required on-board, but the Spike is not.

Blue boxes are not rules, but this makes me wonder if the intent is indeed to leave the Spike on-board. Only the Q&A knows for sure.
