Even if the solenoid isn't push, won't it still spring back, i'm pretty sure
the kind i'm getting (MPJA) are push, but to the best of my recollection
solenoids have a descent spring back, right?

are the pull type don't have a decent spring back without some help...I've
either had to modify the solenoid with springs that push the amature back
out, or I've rigged up a small lever that pulls the amature back out with a
bit of oomph...for your little bot, if you get the pull type you'll probably
want to insert a spring return into it somehow...but you've gotta make sure
that there is going to be enough energy to compress the spring in the first
place!
Just my thoughts
