sorry, for the sour grapes.

PS: thinking about it again, we can do it with 2 cylinders in line. This will give us 4 positions if I am thinking about this right. I didn't read the rules are exactly as I should have. The whole 1 solenoid output per piston rule let me think that our old series valve solution would be legal since the output would just be that one of one valve. Nope, that's illegal. Now the other option we had is illegal as well. I understand why it is now. I'm just mad at myself for not knowing about it earlier.

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