Re: Pneumatic Muscle Project

It seems like any of the standard pneumatic solenoids we use in FRC would work fine for this purpose.

Each solenoid has two outputs.
Each pneumatic muscle has a single input.
Use one output per opposing muscle.
When Output A is pressurized, Output B is depressurized, and vice versa.
