In the last three years that we've used pneumatics (2006, 2007, and 2008) we would pressurize the system prior to the beginning of the match. We would wait until there was about 1 to 2 minutes left in the match before us and then tether our robot and let the compressor run. This meant that our robot was only charged for a minute or two at most before the match actually started.

Provided this approach is deemed acceptable this year we will probably do the same. Also, our robot will be set so that the kicker is in the fired position as the starting position. This should help to prevent any accidents that could be caused by the kicker firing by mistake.
