I would say yes you can manually, or mechanically, charge your
pneumatics before the match.

One could argue for this by saying you are allowed to use pre-charged
batteries so you should be allowed to use pre-charged pneumatics. :-)

Although that's a weak argument, it would make pneumatics pretty useless
if you had to sit and wait for them to charge after the match started
before you could do anything.

Why wouldn't you be able to pressurize your air system before the event?
I see nothing wrong with that.

If you have a motorized pump for keeping the system pressurized, just leave
it on before the start.  I know that in my last 2 'bot competitions, I had
motors constantly running, for conveyor belts and such.

So there you are
