So not that I think this setup should be a problem, but the event it is they could simply replace their ball valve with a single-acting solenoid valve and it would be fine.

P.S. I have no doubt, whatsoever, that teams with the technical ability to generate some of these amazing multi-part designs, will drill, drill and drill to the point where they are quicker at setup than many teams with simpler tasks to perform.

Wouldn't that mean that the main pressure vent valve wouldn't always be able to vent all air pressure?
