Re: Precharging

When charging your pneumatic system, expect things to move. especially when using air pressure to hold starting configuration. Most solenoid valves used in FRC will pressurize one side of the cylinder when disabled. The only way to charge the pneumatics is to enable the robot. Depending on the robot not to move when enalbed is an unsafe mindset.
