Suction cup for grabbing boulder question

Hello Chief Delphi,

So our team has a green FC75 piab suction cup that we were considering using to pick up boulders, and we are unsure of it's legality. We checked rule 77 and in the blue box directly below it stating that devices creating a vacuum were not subject to the pneumatic rules. However, the suction cup uses the pneumatic system for it's suction. It uses a 4mm black tube instead of the usual 1/4 in tube. If anybody could shed some more light on its legal status, or had any insight please let me know.

Thanks dudes
