Re: Robot Inspection Checklist Prior to Matches

Can anyone find a rule that states the pressurized air in the robot at the start of the match must have been supplied by the exact same battery used to run the robot for that match? I don't think there is one.
I don't believe it says it directly in the rules, but I remember seeing somewhere that as long as you have a complete second system (battery, CRio, pressure switch, etc.) that is in fact legal. But stand by, I'm looking for a source now...

EDIT: Upon checking the rules, I retract my statement.
