Re: Placing a Tank after a solenoid valve

The following is a schematic of the pneumatic system we used in 2012 for our catapult. It was, of course, completely legal and did have storage tanks on the low-pressure side of the system.

We did use a valve between the storage tanks and the cylinder, so the implementation you're suggesting is a little bit different. I can't speak to the legality of impeding the motion of a cylinder mechanically, though there doesn't appear to be any rule prohibiting that at a quick glance.
