One of the reasons many teams love pneumatics is the speed at which they actuate, I seriously hope this does not become a rule. We loved having the ability to use a valve with a higher Cv value this year specifically.
For pressure sensor, check out this one from
ebay, we used them on the robot this year to monitor both high and low pressure sides of the system.
