This way works pretty reliable but I think the members of 384 are looking for a better solution for multipositioning since the rules allow more solenoids this year. Last year when we could only use a certain number of solenoids this was one of the few and definitely the easiest way to do this. It proved to be reliable for us. We never had any troubles with it other than general lack of use. Stacking wasn't a good strategy. If they have found a better solution to multiposition it would be good. I still stick with the way I posted is reliable, easy and generally legal. But the rule change has made things different so we'll see how else you can do things. I wish I had more involvemnet with my team this year so I could have tinkered with different pneumatic ideas I had. I'd like to try out there idea. Tinker with it a little. See if you can replace double solenoids with singles and how well it works compared to how well ours works. I like to see innovation but sometimes I like something reliable and easy.
