I don't think it is as much of a set back as you think--you still have a week and replacing the electromagnet with a switch would require relatively little work. Imagine the sequence goes something like this.

1. Pneumatic Cylinder is actuated hooking into surgical tubing.

2. Surgical tubing is pulled down using fischer price motors.

3. Pneumatic cylinder is released.

You have an amazing robot with lots of potential so this minor set back shouldn't hurt you too much.
