Vaccum System

My team is seriously looking at the use of a vaccum cup on our robot this year but I will not go into detail exactly how. After research we know we can use a COTS vaccum pump simply retrofitted with a FIRST legal motor. Our question is there is no rules we can find on storing a vaccum on the robot. We know we can do it but want to know if it is FIRST legal or not. Lastly can we use regular pneumatic solonoids on a vaccum system in the same way we would use then in a pneumatic system.
