To the Q&A!
Sorry -- I didn't recall that part of the description.
They've been allowed in the past, and while I understand that by itself isn't sufficient reason to be certain they'll be allowed this season, past years have similarly disallowed hydraulic components.
I can also sympathize with how difficult it must be to write rules that emphasize safety and fair play given the enormous variety of products and solutions that exist in the engineering world, but I'm continually amazed by the regularity with which FIRST contradicts itself.
Perhaps someone can point to a resource that provides, "closed-loop pneumatic (gas) shocks" that don't contain hydraulic fluid.
Frustrating.
