How's our set-up?

Hi, I'm from a rookie team that is trying to get pneumatics working. I've created this general set-up: http://imgur.com/9axznQR to basically test pistons and control thereof. Currently the set-up is slightly different, with the first plug valve used for exhaust as opposed to a switch. Overall it goes: compressor to tanks to guage to exhaust to pressure switch to regulator set to 25 psi (I'll probably lower it later) to another guage to a plug valve used a switch to a solenoid to a piston. Currently we have no pressure relief valve as we lack the fittings. Everything is working without a hitch with the exception of the solenoid: it can only be manipulated manually, so I assume that's just something our programming team needs to fix. Any comments or advice will be helpful.
