I believe teams 272 and 188 both passed inspection with electromagnets.

Vagrities in the rules. Solonoids (not solonoid valves) were specifically marked in the rules and not allowed.
Electromagnets are not specifically solonoids, just like adhesive backed non-skid is not tape

linear actuators have been legal so long as they do not have a non-
FIRST motor attached to them (and follow all other
FIRST rules as well).
All of this, of course, could change when the new rules come out at kickoff.
