I glossed over that possibility, as this is a rookie team who probably doesn't know the difference yet. They have limited experience with FRC solenoids and I conjecture that they've only ever seen the Festo 24v solenoids that came in this year's kit.
The coils will be marked as 12v or 24v so you can double check.
