Re: Solenoids and <R74>
Fair enough. That makes a lot of sense. I also think your multiple valve cascade passes muster under the rules. I believe the real concern with having multiple valves on the same cylinder is that GDC wants to limit the flow rate. Your set up wouldn't violate that.
As a thought, have you considered a double acting valve? That would let you apply pressure to both sides, which should also lock the cylinder, and cut down one solenoid valve.
Just keep in mind that in either case you won't be "locked" in position. Air does compress, after all.
