Gas Shocks not allowed?

Do the rules this year prevent the use of gas shocks as a form of stored energy?

It appears that the following rules make them illegal to use. Am I reading this correctly?

G03 - design is unsafe if motion can not be stopped by drivers

R37 -
Non-electrical sources of energy used by the ROBOT, (i.e., stored at the start of a MATCH), shall come only from the following sources:
A. compressed air stored in the pneumatic system,
B. a change in the altitude of the ROBOT center of gravity, and
C. storage achieved by deformation of ROBOT parts.

R78.B - Closed-loop COTS pneumatic (gas) shocks not considered part of pneumatic system
