Reasons for non-functional piston?

Hi everyone,

One of the pistons from our competition bot from last year has spontaneously stopped triggering. Some background information:

-the piston itself works fine as we have tested it manually
-our compressor is functioning and our tanks are holding air
-the spike is functioning and displaying a green light when we attempt to trigger the piston
-our solenoid is functioning
-airlines seem to be hooked up properly

All the individual components seem to be working fine. Also, we find it strange that it stopped working out of the blue when the code has been the same since our competitions.

Any reasons as to why this could be happening?
