Least expensive solenoids
As I round out my Makerspace test robots I find the last thing I need to collect are some FRC legal pneumatic parts to finish up a pneumatic accessory board to swap back and forth between the: 8 slot cRIO, the 4 slot cRIO and the RoboRIO robot control systems. I have a lot of pneumatic pieces laying about from nonFRC automation projects and some soft robotics work that might work but probably aren't FRC practical. However I've never been the one buying FRC pneumatic parts for FRC11/193. I understand the minimum requirements in the manuals past and present. I grabbed up a compressor, 2 tanks and some fittings from AndyMark's Deal-of-The-Day yesterday.
I am wondering if anyone has any tips for decent cheap solenoid valves? I know AndyMark sells a pretty broad selection but as this is more a demo than anything with actual requirements I just want stuff that would be FRC legal and practical.
