hey so our pneumatics set up is a compressor, 4 canister, powering 2 pistons(2 for each)....i cant seem to find any documentation on how to hook everything up, can someone post a link or shoot me in the right direction?
thx!.....

*venting* im the only programmer on our team and no one on the construction team has any clue about pneumatics or electrical!!! anybody else a programmer who ends up doing construction work?!?!?! the person in charge of electrical forgot to add a circuit breaker and could not figure out wtf the cRIO was for!!! seriously! READ FRC DOCUMENTATION!!!
its been 5 weeks and my construction team has just finished chaining!!! it took me 5 mins to setup the tank drive and it takes 5 weeks before i can even test it out!

Scroll down to Section 8 Robot Rules and check out the Pneumatics Manual (and the Robot Rules while you're at it).
