So, how is the Sam Hill are you supposed to get a piston to stop in varying positions. We have done it for years using more than one valve is series and now we come to find that COTS 3 position valves are also illegal. I'm getting a bit frustrated here. These multi-rod solutions are nifty but impractical for what we already have designed. Is there any COTS solenoid that can do what what center blocked solenoid can do and is still legal?

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
