Re: Why use a manifold?
On our 2014 robot we used a pneumatic catapult. We ended up putting a large number of tanks on the working pressure side to assist. We also ended the season with higher CV solenoids than we started with due to performance issues.
One key thing we did was we started logging air pressure on the 120psi side, the working pressure (nominally 60), and at the piston. Key things we learned.
1) The regulator suffers from hysteresis and does not always return to the set point every time.
2) We could have a 30psi or greater pressure differential across the solenoid.
I may still have the data available if anyone is interested.
