Gas Shock Legality?

[Andrew Schreiber]

Short answer, as far as I can tell the answer is yes. Unless you can find a rule that explicitly forbids them they are legal. I believe they would fall under the same category as springs. (In cases where I need force and not velocity I prefer gas shocks for safety reasons) This is my interpretation and I would really appreciate if someone with more FRC experience (preferably on the inspector side of things) would confirm this interpretation.

I happen to agree with you based on my reading of the 2010 rules but have to argue with how you came to this decision. Past years rules have no bearing this year.
