I'm sorry, the not a solenoid comment was aimed at a previous poster that seemed to imply all linear actuators are solenoids.

Nearly everywhere in the rules, when they talk about servos they also mention PWM and powered by the roboRIO. I think most LRI will rule it legal, but absolutely bring datasheets; always good to make the inspector's job easier.
