So that can't be the definition that GDC is using.

Ether,
Any transformers on the robot would be LAN isolation devices and allowed as part of the supplied control system, there are no loop antennas as the Wireless bridge has two dipole antennas and is also part of the supplied control system. Inductors and other large coils of wire as well as servos fit into the allowed motors section of the rules or are part of the supplied control system boost/buck power supplies. While loops in wire are effectively solenoids, straightening the loop will not result in a change of function nor is the magnetic field useful so these have been ignored in the past as cosmetic.
