Gauges and Robot Rules

[feverittm]

Question regarding an off-board compressor. We have our compressor (vet. team, old style compressor) and would like to be able to pull it off for weight savings. According to the rules, while were stated as I understand them as well, the only thing that is different between an onboard and an offboard compressor is the compressor itself. All gauges, valves, regulators, etc. are still required and must remain on the robot.

The question is, with the compressor off the robot, but still controlled by the robot control system, how do you use it? You are not supposed to enable the robot (in order to enable the compressor) except on the field. How do you fill your tanks?

Thanks
