If the devices you intend to use are on the allowable list of pnuematic parts and you can fulfill the other aspects of robot rules (i.e. releasing the pressure through the supplied valve) and if your part can be followed through the flowchart, then it is likely OK. If you are planning something different, you should post the question on the Q&A. Better safe than sorry later.
