First, you should print off the 2005 pneumatics manual and look at the examples. Understand the difference between a single and double solenoid before you start proposing ideas. The solenoid should be positioned as close to the cylinder as possible for the most efficient use of your air.
The biggest problem I see with using pneumatics this year is the air. Even if you can afford to have an on board compressor without going over weight, you still will have trouble with air deficiency because the pneumatic cylinders use a lot of air very quickly.
Just some things to consider.
