I don't recall any such Q&A though.

I think your issue here is how the question is framed and (presumably answered by the GDC).

The answer you received appears to simply be addressing the issue that the compressor must be powered through the robot by the robot battery whenever it is operated.

And that is the question I think is core to my problem. When does the robot become the robot?
From my POV once you use the battery to compress air in your tanks, that battery becomes part of the robot for that match. If you removed the battery after the compression, you are using two batteries for a match.

Mark,
The question regarding swapping batteries was asked in the Q & A and they directed the petitioner to R69. I'm just not sure how that answers the question.
