Re: Mulit-postioning with pnuematics this year?

I have actually worked with Leo on this one. It was going to be part of our bot this year, but the original use of the piston changed, so that now the idea of multi-positioning the piston is no longer needed. But back to the point, Leo and I have spent a good amount of time working on the concept. We have also found a way to make a piston stop in mid position where you want to just about every time you want it to, and it is pretty quickly at that. I'll give you guys a picture of it full out, full in and paused in mid throw. If there are any questions, PM me. I will say first off that you are best tho have the third solenoid to back pressure the system so that you get an quick responce from the solenoid that controls exaust from the main solenoid.
