Re: # of solenoids
It looks like off the shelf solenoid valves are ok. You do however, have a limited number of digital outputs...
Q: R54 states there is no limit to number of solenoid valves. They must be off the shelf. The flow chart seems to contradict this. May we purchase other off the shelf solenoid valves?
A: You may purchase other off the shelf solenoid valves. We will modify the flow chart accordingly.
Q: What are the total number of cylinders that can be used on the robot?
A: <R54> clearly states "There is no limit to the number of solenoid valves, air cylinders and fittngs you may use on your robot."
Q: In 5.2.9 It is stated that There is no limit to the number of solenoid valves, etc you may use on your robot. The part use flowchart would seem to only allow solenoids from last year's kit. May we obtain other solenoids to use?
A: You may obtain other solenoid valves. Be sure to verify that their coils are specified to operate at 12 Vdc.
