Working with the 24V isn't different than 12V, and like Scott said, if it worked with the battery it'll work on the robot. The thing is since you're not using the solenoid's specifications it might fail or work poorly. Also, it's bad practice to not supply the component's specifications, that's why I suggested getting another.

Other than the tips in my original post, there's not much I can say, based on your description. Do you think you could post a picture of the system you built?
