Does anyone have an example of a useful application for the 3-way exhaust valve?

In 2014, we used 2 Festo valves (think it was am-0888) which worked as a 3-way valve on our intake arm. The idea was to have 3 states; up, down and neutral. Up and down force the arm into those positions. We wired the user control such that the arm would be pushed down and then switch into neutral.
This allowed the arm to raise up as the roller spun the ball into the robot. The effect was to provide for a longer time period of roller/ball contact as the roller pulled the ball in.
