So not that I think this setup should be a problem, but the event it is they could simply replace their ball valve with a single-acting solenoid valve and it would be fine.

P.S. I have no doubt, whatsoever, that teams with the technical ability to generate some of these amazing multi-part designs, will drill, drill and drill to the point where they are quicker at setup than many teams with simpler tasks to perform.
