I don't think you can avoid it. I remember one of the inspectors on here saying something about pushing against the box would not pass at his booth.

The only other way would be a pneumatic cylinder acting as a pin, if you already have pneumatics.

(And, Vex servos are legal...)

Edit:These threads might explain a bit better.
