Consider a system where you have 15 Cots storage tanks attached to a portion of your robot cart. These storage tanks have the mandatory emergency release ball valve and pressure gage on them. While in the pits, you run a piece of pneumatic tubing from the pressure release ball valve on your robot to the pressure release ball valve on your storage farm. Open both ball valves, and turn on the compressor.
The compressor fills both the storage farm and the robot.
Close both ball valves, pull the pneumatic tube, and keep the storage farm for the play-offs.
Would that violate a rule?
