If it's a change I wonder how our analog sensors get power now?

It's probably just an error. At least I can't think of why a solenoid would be an analog input...
I agree.

Having a solenoid connect to the 9021 (analog input) module doesn't make very much sense. In the block diagram, it seems the solenoid should be connected to relays via the 9472 module.

It would be nice if the FIRST community comes up with better names for these modules.
