Re: Pneumatics holding their position

Definetly true kevin.

Building a pneumatics board to practice on makes it so much easier to put it in the robot.

Their are many ways to leave a actuator extended, retracted, or even somewhere in the middle after the power has been cut. The best way is to read the pneumatic manual on FIRST and play with the different parts. Remember the single solenoid switches back, the double stays on one side, and that air is a fluid.

Pneumatics are fun.

Oh yeah, to check for leaks get water with a little soap in it and check each part. Or just have really good ears in a quiet environment, sssssss, not best to look for in the pits or before competition.
