No, you cannot use these.

Stolen from the Additional Parts Flowchart
Pneumatics/Hydraulics?
Is the part a pneumatic or hydraulic component?
Yes
Is it an air cylinder ordered
from the Custom Cylinder
Order Form, or an off-theshelf
or custom suction cup?
No
No, it may not be used.

We cannot use any pneumatic cylinders which we didn’t either a) get in the kit, or b) order using the custom cylinder order form, in the 2003 Pneumatics Manual
