There were serious issues across the board in 2008 and 2009 with the KOP Festo valves. Those issues are still unresolved here in 2012, but that's a moot point: the new Rookie KOP valves provided by Festo are of a totally different design (and much more similar to the SMC SY series valves). It's fair to say that our team's aversion to Festo valves is non-technical in nature at this point.
