Gas Shock Legality?

In the manual, <R72-I>, seems to allow for the use of gas shocks so long as they are safe. This implies that they are legal for this game. But, <R01> restricts the methods of stored energy and does not mention gas shocks specifically. Our strategy depends on compressing gas shocks prior to match start; holding that energy throughout gameplay and releasing that energy by a motorized latch system to lift a considerable section of our robot during the Finale. Is it legal to store energy as a compressed gas shock (or multiple shocks) for use later in in the end-game?
