The compressor, whether mounted on the robot or not, is the only allowed means of pressurizing a pneumatic tank. Please read <R102>.

team number 1717 wants to have one tank connected to a compressor and another charged before the match by the same compressor, but not recharged during the match. Because this cylinder will not be recharged during the match it does not require a pressure switch but it does require an emergency relief valve to keep pressure at the allowable level and make sure it does not go any higher when charging by the KOP compressor before the match.

That is not correct. <R101> and <R102> are applicable to any compressed air storage; the rules explicitly cover the case of a tank that is charged before the match using an off-robot compressor.

I apologize, you are correct, all rules must be followed for filling the tank before a match same as filling a tank with an on-board compressor. Also i believe <r103> also applies to this situation.

Good catch; you are right about <R103>.
